You bite your goddamn tongue! All Muppets are timeless!

Plus they're probably just rehashing 3 week old bews

I know right? Yes i would like the full story but I don't want all the stories, so no.

not in a million years

I'm surprised there isn't a plugin that will makeup the rest of the article for you... What am I saying? There almost definitely is.

have a really bad dev next to you? just hire the same dev a second time and tell them they are now full time reviewers.

Good luck getting an AI thats trained to blow smoke up everyones ass to actually critically assess anything, instead of just saying everything is amazing

I suspect it would work. But the false positive rate would be really high.

In other words, they could probably detect sloppy junk reasonably well, but I suspect it would flag too many human PRs to make the automation particularly useful.

That, and the good seeming vibe coded PRs are the ones the worry about. Those are the ones that seem to slot in, but might have an error or general misunderstanding somewhere in them that’s just really hard to detect, as it would be common sense to a human working on the project, but not to an LLM agent.

As a random specific example, I had a local LLM + Gemini 3.1 fix this issue with a Rimworld mod for me. It was really simple; just changing one line in an XML file.

But neither of them realized the change was, ultimately, bad practice. They re-defined something inherited from a parent class, which would prevent other mods’ changes in that parent class chain from percolating down to this. Any basic Rimworld modder would know this is a recipe for trouble, but an LLM isn’t cognizant like that and has no clue.

Now: imagine that, but in a huge PR for a complex codebase.

It’s just too much to look for. The LLM could make a non-obvious, “inhuman” mistake at any point.

It depends on which AI model you're using. If it's an older one, it's not recommended.

If it's a recently released model, then it's probably acceptable. However, don't use it for highly critical tasks unless you have a backup or two. Of course, you could also verify the code's integrity as an extra safety measure.

Ah yes, let's let the AI qualify AI code submissions.

At that point, why not automate the whole process? Have an AI guess what kind of software you might be interested in, slop it together, evaluate and criticise it, suggest amendments, evaluate the amendment, include it, build the product, ship it, install it directly to your machine for your convenience, then proceed to operate it for you so you can automate sloppy execution of a sloppy task you never wanted to do, in a sloppy tool you never asked you for a purpose a random generator slopped together without your input.
