I’ve left so many PR reviews in the last few months that are essentially “this looks good but delete 80% of the comments.”

Lets assume one of two worlds - one where AI is constantly improving and one where the tooling is a dead end. In the first world the AI generated comments are no better than the commentary that would be generated in the next six months - in the second world the AI generated comments will obscure the human written comments.

In what world are AI generated comments actually value adds?
