Yes, instead of reviewing 1,000 lines a day I now "review" 10,000 lines a day. My brain is not 10x faster, so either I spend 10x more time reviewing code, or I just opt to accept that AI is probably right based on the complexity of the problem. However I realize that if we just let the agents loose on the codebase, everything would speed up like 100x.
Invariably once certain AI models in certain domains reach "full automation" quality this will happen, until now the human eyeball bottleneck is holding a leash on millions of tireless superhuman coders who have just a few narrow but egregious contextual awareness issues.
A rocketship pointed in the wrong direction is not going to get to mars. Steering is probably the next evolution of code review
