Report #37905

[counterintuitive] AI can reliably review and fix its own generated code

Never use the same LLM \(or same session\) to both generate and review code. Use a different model or a human to review AI-generated code.

Journey Context:
It seems efficient to have the AI 'double check' its work. However, LLMs suffer from self-reinforcing bias. If the AI generated code with a specific blind spot \(e.g., a security vulnerability or an implicit assumption\), it will evaluate that code through the same lens, rendering the self-review useless. It will confidently state the code is correct because it aligns with the model's internal weights that produced it, lacking the external grounding needed for true verification.
