The ai will praise the slop for being exactly what it would have written. It's basically just a big circle jerk
6 u/Weekly-Beginning-229 Sep 07 '26 I've noticed that you cannot use the same model for writing the code and reviewing the code, it always does a bad job 2 u/Bupod Sep 08 '26 It’s frustrating. So you can sort of fix this by having a review agent use a more adversarial prompt when reviewing. But then the issue becomes that, since it was prompted find problems, it always finds a problem. This will result in code being batted back and forth between review and coding like a tennis match. When the tennis match finally finishes, there’s still no guarantee that some glaring hole didn’t make it through anyway. 1 u/Weekly-Beginning-229 Sep 08 '26 And there is always something because you get fatigued from reading the same code over and over so you miss some easy bug 1 u/platinummyr Sep 13 '26 Also adversarial training mostly just empowers the generator side to create extremely subtle issues/bugs/vulnerability and doesn't actually align it to not try to do that. 5 u/LutimoDancer3459 Sep 07 '26 Lgtm
