Only if you want to go over everything.

If you don’t: you either need to make someone else responsible and accountable for going over something, or be accountable for not being responsible.

Remember:

A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” – IBM Training Manual, 1979.

I guess you missed all those studies/results about:

• Technical debt (including code quality, code ownership and conservation of familiarity, complexity traps, etc…)
• Cognitive debt (including but not limited to: general cognitive debt, codebase cognitive debt, skill atrophy, etc…)
• Systems theory (specifically failure cascades in complex systems)
• Psychological effects (confidence machines, eliza effect / AI psychosis, Gell-Mann Amnesia, false consensus effect / illusory truth effect, etc… x 100)

The only way to go over something yourself correctly is by doing it yourself correctly.

and no proof that the AI has actually been a burden

You commenting that just highlights that you’ve either never had to work with a developer who uses AI, or do not have the adequate level of skill to correctly review something submitted by a developer who uses AI.

LLMs can provide value in software development, especially in senior developer hands.

The value they do provide is in scamming and providing skill atrophy.

Depends how big the pizzas are
