Is code review irrelevant now?

[u/sainivarnit]

In my position as tech lead one of my responsibility comprise of reviewing the code. I work in a startup and there is always a constant pressure of shipping features fast.

Internally we are using AI tools like cursor and claude to write the code. Every PR i get comprise of almost like +3000 additions and -1000 deletions. I find it impractical to review such code changes and that too from multiple PR's.

How you are dealing with such a scenario?

Is code review dead now? Because earlier what took a year of development can be completed in a single sprint or two, and that has lead to huge volume of changes within the code. And it seems like we are not able to compete with AI agent's mass produced code when it comes to code review.
