Comparison was done in the scope of coderabbit AI code review tool, which sadly makes it practically irrelevant. My personal experience as a software engineer, and a former security researcher who did manual code audit, is that this code review tool has such poor results that it isn't worth the "noise" and friction it causes developers during C/I code review

Yeah I personally don’t understand the point of AI code review tools all that much, as AI is already generating the code as well. All of these AI code review tools create so much noise, yet don’t catch the really important things.

At my team we added AI review because seniors were tired of always commenting on the same things, mostly because not everyone uses AI properly to produce production ready code. We tried coderabbit, qodo, and they all produce an amount of noise that end up being useless. A colleague and I then decided to create an internal solution that we ended up publishing under Revix AI. We have multiple control systems to avoid noise and only comment real issues, and we prioritize standards existing in the repo over llms knowledge. This one works so good for us and I don’t understand why the others don’t work like that.

How do you guys review AI-generated code ? In our team, frontend work is vibe-coded by the PO and merged as-is without review. Backend is coded by developers, using AI but in a slower, more controlled way. Recently, our PO has been trying his hand at vibe-coding the backend. I must say he is a smart guy, almost technical but not quite a developer. We've just been handed a burst of stacked PRs amounting for ~15k LOC b…

we are using Revix AI, works really good on repos that already have some standards and patterns from good devs. the reviewer catches most of the things so when the senior reviews he just have to focus on more elevated things like architecture, etc.

moreover, try to enforce having AGENTS.md files on your repos, and rules created by the senior devs specific to your repo, its not perfect but also helps quite a lot
