Forgetting AI for a moment, I am always shocked when I am reviewing a coworker's code and it's obvious that they themselves didn't review it.
Like, they sent me a PR that has a whole shitload of other crap in it. Why should I look at it when you haven't looked at it? If you don't review your own review requests, you're a failure of a ~~programmer~~ human.
And I would be a failure if I approved such a request.
Getting back to the post, where is all of the review? The coworker should have reviewed the AI shit, whether it was code or documentation. The person who approved the PR should have reviewed it, as well.
Every business with more than one programmer should have at least two levels of safeguards against this exact thing happening. More if you include different types of test suites.
This post describes a fundamentally broken business, regardless of the AI angle, and so it's good if everything is broken. With such a lack of discipline and principles, I say let the business fail.
