A large-scale empirical study of 278,790 code review conversations across 300 open-source GitHub projects found human reviewers require 11.8% more back-and-forth rounds when reviewing AI-generated code versus human-written code. First quantification of how agentic coding changes review dynamics at scale. AI-generated code generates more scrutiny, not less — with implications for team velocity calculations and PR tooling design.
