What causes poor quality in AI-generated pull requests?

Lack of project context – AI pattern-matches training data, missing your architecture, styles, or edge cases. Leads to over-engineering, style breaks, subtle bugs.

How do you implement review guidelines for AI code?

Mandate human review pre-merge: checklists for readability, consistency, security. Train on prompt engineering. Incentivize quick audits over full rewrites.

Will AI-generated code replace human developers?

Nah – it accelerates, but humans provide judgment, context, oversight. Best teams blend both for sustainable speed.
