[counterintuitive] AI code review catches complex logic bugs better than humans

Use AI to catch edge-case type errors, unused variables, and boundary conditions; use humans for stateful concurrency, authentication, and business logic validation.

Journey Context:
LLMs predict next tokens based on local context. They are great at noticing a variable type mismatch or a missing return, but they lack a mental model of runtime state, execution order, or system-level concurrency. Humans overestimate AI's logic because it writes fluent prose, but AI fundamentally cannot 'run' the code in its head. It misses entire bug classes related to race conditions or state mutations that humans catch by mentally simulating execution.
