Before AI, I felt like I could review PRs and, based on whose code I was reviewing, I could be more trusting and casual with my review, since I knew they usually wrote good code and paid attention to details. Now, with AI, no one pays attention to details, so I have to deeply scrutinize every PR, which takes twice or 3x the effort.

AI agents almost always add things that aren’t necessary, or they follow anti-patterns based on the surrounding legacy code context.

@ramsey with a changes written by a human, you can at least presume there is some traceable intention, or understandable misunderstanding. But with vommits (vibe coded commits, don’t know who coined it), you can’t do that and you can’t even get the submitter to necessarily explain what they’re trying to do.
