[counterintuitive] Using AI to find deep logic bugs and state mutations in code reviews

Use AI for shallow bug detection \(typos, missing null checks, anti-patterns\) and humans for deep logic bugs \(concurrency, state mutations, complex conditionals\).

Journey Context:
There is a belief that because AI can pass LeetCode, it can find complex logic bugs in reviews. In reality, AI is terrible at tracking state across many lines or functions, missing entire bug classes related to concurrency and state mutation. Humans are systematically overconfident in catching shallow bugs \(like a missing equals sign\) due to skimming, which AI catches instantly. The accurate mental model is a strict separation: AI for shallow syntactic/semantic patterns, humans for deep stateful logic.
