I mean, it's not necessarily HARD proof but it has been a reliable enough way to figure out which corners to cut. You can of course say that no corners should ever be cut and while that is true in an ideal sense. In the real world things always get fuzzy.
Maybe the death of cutting corners is a good thing overall for output quality. Its certainly exhausting on the people tasked with doing the reviews however.
I don't know about that. Cutting corners will never die.
Ultimately I don't think the heuristics would change all that much, though. If every time you review a person's PR, almost everything is great, they are either not using AI or they are vetting what the AI writes themselves, so you can trust them as you did before. It may just take some more PRs until that's apparent. Those who submit unvetted slop will have to fix a lot of things, and you can crank up the heat on them until they do better, if they can. (The "if they can" is what I'm most worried about.)
