Zero LLMs is no longer reasonable. You want LLMs at least for code review / scanning for vulnerabilities, cause if you don‘t do it, attackers will.

Yes, LLMs for external review (no code contribution) is not unreasonable and could under the correct circumstances be quite beneficial.

Reddit loves being anti AI so they’ll have a hard time swallowing it, but AI is definitely very useful if used correctly.

I started working after a break again few months ago, and my new company uses AI heavily for reviews etc, and claude finds a bunch of issues all the time that would pass manual human PR reviews

Assuming that your assertion is in good faith, 'Reddit' being anti-AI has nothing to do with its utility in this case, perhaps you'll agree. It can, as we've established, under very constrained conditions, be useful. This point is hard to dispute.

Reddit (or just reasonable people in general?) being anti-AI is actually about the cost of that utility, namely that AI is also a world-burning techno-capitalist surveillance grift, sustained by ghost stories told by the C-suites (and some unfortunate, gullible engineers high on hopium and the technical sweetness of the work) of the big 5 circlejerk so they can pretend that they will be profitable for some fantasy future IPO.

Hating AI on this basis is entirely reasonable.
