一篇学术论文宣称基于大语言模型的编码代理可在更低成本和更高吞吐量下实现代码审查的所有目标1。但有评论人士深入分析后指出，该论文对代码审查的理解过于狭隘，忽视了人工审查中的多个关键职能1。
代码审查的本质远超出缺陷检测范畴1。人工审查者能够识别代码复杂性或意图不清，并向开发者反映这种困惑信号，而语言模型仅能处理代码本身，无法捕捉人类的理解障碍1。此外，人工审查者可在验证代码正确性之前质疑变更的必要性和范围1，这是代理系统难以实现的前置把关。
AI系统还存在"缺失盲区"问题——无法识别应有但未出现的内容，例如API契约变更但未更新相应的错误处理机制1。更重要的是，审查人员的个人责任感和问责机制会直接影响审查质量，而自动化代理系统缺乏这种激励结构1。代码审查本质上是双向认知活动，参与各方通过讨论改变彼此的心智模型1，这种互动性的融合是任何自动化工具难以替代的1。
A critical analysis published on Hacker News challenges recent academic claims that large language model-based coding agents can fully replace human code review 1. The original paper argued that such agents could achieve all objectives of traditional code review at lower cost and higher throughput, but the critique demonstrates this premise overlooks multiple essential functions performed by human reviewers 1.
The author contends that code review is fundamentally a multidimensional process involving detection, coordination, meaning-making, and governance—not merely defect identification 1. Human reviewers possess capabilities that automated systems lack: they can recognize code complexity or unclear intent and signal confusion in ways that reveal cognitive gaps LLMs cannot capture 1. Additionally, peer reviewers often question whether changes are necessary or appropriately scoped before even validating code correctness—a gatekeeping function that precedes technical verification 1. LLM-based agents are vulnerable to "blindness gaps," failing to detect missing elements such as unupdated error handling when API contracts change 1.
Beyond technical assessment, the review process involves personal accountability and governance mechanisms that influence quality assurance in ways automated systems cannot replicate 1. Code review operates as a bidirectional cognitive activity where participants engage in constructive dialogue that reshapes each contributor's mental models—a fundamentally collaborative exchange rather than unidirectional information transfer 1. The analysis further emphasizes that reviewer background and organizational context shape effective oversight in ways that purely algorithmic approaches cannot address 1.
