It's slippery. You're swamped with low-effort PRs, can't possibly test and review all of them. You will become a visible bottleneck, and guess whether it's easier to defend quality vs. "blocking a lot of features" which "seem to work". If you're tied by your salary as a reviewer, you will have to let go, and at the same time you'll suffer the consequences of the "lack of oversight" when things go south.

The board wants their cake and eat it too.
They want AI to write all code but also still be able to fire humans for failure, because an AI can't be blamed right now.
Boy I can't wait for this employment norm. Fired because you weren't allowed to take the time to review important code but "You are responsible"
I wish Executives were required to be that "responsible"
