A lot of value in code reviews comes from knowledge sharing and collaborating on code. It is close to a pair programming exercise that many people in the team can partake in asynchronously.

I’m sorry for not answering many of your questions, but I do think it’s not worth it, at least in a professional context.

For personal use, it might be different.

I'd treat it more as a linter. You deal with it before submitting review for a human.

Sure for knowledge sharing about tribal knowledge or undocumented plans I see the value of having a person reviewing, but a lot of other stuff that comes up in pair programming can probably also be managed by AI like what are best practices, a bug you might have missed, evaluating alternative solutions, etc.

People are incredibly varied on code reviews too, I can see where some standardization on what should be blocking and what is best left as a suggestion could accelerate things in some cases and prevent issues in other cases.
