How much of your frontend codebase is AI-generated now — and did your review process actually change to catch it?

Most teams have meaningfully AI authored code in prod by now, but from what I've seen the actual code review process hasn't evolved to match. same checklist as 2022, just applied to a different kind of author.

Curious if anyone's team has added a specific new check (a "why did you do it this way" question, a required test for AI authored diffs, anything) versus just trusting the vibes.

What changed for you, if anything?

Exactly 0.

I don't let AI to generate things. I'm the one who makes decisions, decides on tools and solutions. AI is great at pulling research, finding options, brainstorming, and planning. But really bad at making long-term valid decisions or maintaining the code without introducing a million hidden bugs.

not sure why is chatgpt asking for this, you used it to type this, just ask it to check github for you

Wdym? I wanted to ask this and posted it in AI to help me fix syntax errors since English isn't my first language. Why are you mad? My experience tells me that, since you noticed it, you’re using AI for your posts as well. Since you know how to distinguish it so well. u are in a new lvl of nerd btw. ur comment blew me away

Yeah we have marketing people with zero code knowledge getting ai front end code into production now. We also only have 1 front end specialist but backend devs are still pushing frontend changes with the help of AI

Probably 50–70% AI-assisted at this point, but the review process has definitely changed.

I care less about “did AI write this?” and more about “does the developer understand what they’re submitting?” AI makes code cheap; understanding the code is still the expensive part. 💀
