I ran some stats on our main repo at work. Looking at 6 months of code review on production code – 2100 pull requests AI review: 35% of comments result in changes Best human: 80% of comments drive change The most burnt out dude (me) has a 54% comment->change ratio

The number that jumps out isn't 35 vs 80, it's that your worst day (54%) still beats AI's best day. Curious if that 35% is actually bad comments, or just comments people skim past because a bot wrote them.
