Report #53058

[counterintuitive] AI code review catches the same bug classes as senior human engineers

Use AI for localized syntactic/semantic bugs and humans for architectural, temporal, and business logic bugs

Journey Context:
Humans are overconfident in AI's ability to reason about system state. AI excels at pattern matching against vast bug databases, but fails catastrophically on temporal logic, distributed system race conditions, and business logic flaws because it evaluates code statically and lacks a mental model of the running system's state over time. It catches missing null checks but misses broken invariants.
