The largest problem these days is the volume of code developers are expected to review. The volume went up significantly.

This is the best and worst thing about LLM coding agents. They trust comments way too implicitly. And then the errors just keep compounding.
Or a temporary hack that becomes "load-bearing" because the agent doesn't figure out that it's supposed to be a temporary testing shim - instead it keeps building on it until it basically duplicates what it's mocking.
By far the biggest problem 90% of developers have with AI is that they should be turning off comments, as it's clear that the training data they have is no good for developing a theory of mind for an engineer who has to read them.
I've turned them off and add them myself at review time and am quite happy.
