Who is done with code reviews?

Why do we have code reviews? AI might not be behind at writing code from scratch but AI is far superior at reviewing code changes.

I have not seen any AI review do codebase conventions consistently well. Scenarios like - the code may be valid, but it doesn't use our library for x feature, or in FE it isn't using the new component / styling, etc. Enterprise things. Once someone figures that out it's nearly solved except when requiring undocumented context IMO

I actually do more code reviews, because it's the person that signs the commit that is responsible for the code, not the AI

Yep. Big reason why we are working on making Macroscope.com move to auto approving and merging PRs
