alt Hacker NewsYes. I sympathize with the “every PR needs human eyes on it” ethos but fundamentally the only thing that scales with AI PR generation is AI PR review.

I don't get the point of AI pr review.
If the AI can review the pr, it can do so before the PR exists in the first place.
It's a tool/skill/prompt. Just share it with the end user or encode it in the codebase in some files.
It may actually be even more useful as that person will use it often and improve it or can it.

That's probably true. And it is also a glaring red flag saying "STOP LETTING AN LLM GENERATE PRs". Far too few will heed that red flag, I fear.
If you are talking about AI's opening PR's then maybe you have a point. But a person opening a PR should not be met with unvetted feedback.
To be absolutely clear, AI should be used for PR review. It should be used many times. By the PR author and by all the reviewers. It should not just be piped directly from the agent to the author inside the PR. That causes the author to triage every comment.
