My coworkers are all fully AI pilled. As a consequence, every PR that comes my way for review is on average ~6k lines of diff. It's well established that even PRs an order of magnitude smaller than this are too big to be effectively reviewed. I'm still clinging to the idea that us humans should understand how the systems we are building work, so I'm hesitant to use AI for reviews aside from more general question answering. Much of what it produces in the way of explanations are difficult to follow and overly verbose anyway. I'm sure I'm not the only person here who has been dealing with this…
