You're not wrong. Up till recently I'd have agreed without reservation even.

Except in recent months, I've seen modern agents verify things more rigorously than I do now.

Could be a me thing ofc, but I've found that a human's eyes tend to glaze over while the agent just keeps on checking in more and more detail.

With the caveat that I do not use AI for research, I regularly notice it catch things I would not in code reviews. I also regularly catch a lot of things that the AI would not.

Most importantly, it’s bad at catching things that are not normally part of documented processes or openly reasoned about. I think that this specific weakness is extremely important and exactly how you end up letting something go by that would be trivial to catch for a human reviewer.
