Basically, you have to review code generated by an LLM the same way that you would review code written by a human programmer, which requires (at least) the same level of proficiency as writing code yourself - if not, as you wrote, higher proficiency.

I'd argue you have to review code generated by an LLM to an even greater degree than that generated by a human programmer because you can to some degree presume that the human writer intends the code to be functional. Whereas, with an LLM, it might just spit out some garbage that it doesn't even intend to be compile-able. In my experience, LLM-written code doesn't pass a threshold where I believe it's ready to force another human being to review it (via Pull Request review.) The LLM generates what it generates, I rewrite what it generated, and then I create the Pull Request. If I can't understand what the LLM generated, as might be the case where the human programmer is not fluent with the language, then having the LLM generate code was a pointless step anyway.
