    I still can't believe that anyone who has used AI and understands development thinks that "No AI" policies are going to exist anywhere but the smallest of niches. Maybe they've been blessed to only ever work with the top 1% of the industry?

    At this point AI is a better developer than most mid-level SMEs I've worked with. I hate this fact, but I don't have a shred of evidence to dispute it anymore. I work on a 20 year old codebase that thousands of developers use and it finds bugs in pre-AI code daily.

      The LLMs are great for reviews. The No AI" policies would be probably restricted to coding..

        Indeed - it's great at finding mistakes.

        IMO reviews are more useful for communicating some change to the rest of your team so they can maintain it later than as bug finders. AI is better as a bug finder.
