I have not had the same experience. In the PRs I have read, AI accomplishes in 300 very verbose lines what a competent human could in like 60, quintupling cognitive load to review.

But that's so easy to fix! I can't believe people complain about stuff like this. The person making the PR could've told the AI "hey you can easily reduce the amount of code by using this technique" or whatever... or saying you prefer concise code than verbose code in the system prompt so the AI behaves how you want it to... If you can't do any of that, and I can guarantee that if you did you wouldn't have this problem, then you're not really trying.
It's structurally impossible to fix
