I understand your skepticism and discomfort, and also agree that an LLM should not replace a human code reviewer.

I would encourage you to try one (nearly all including ours have a free trial).

When done right, they serve as a solid first pass and surface things that warrant a second look. Repeated code where there should be an abstraction, inconsistent patterns from other similar code elsewhere in the codebase, etc. Things that linters can’t do.

Would you not want your coworkers to have AI look at their PRs, have them address the relevant comments, and then pass it to you for review?
