You probably shouldn't take a code review bot's "LGTM!" at face value, but if it tells you there is an issue with your code and it is indeed an issue with your code, it has successfully subbed in for your coworker who didn't get around to looking at it yet.

That's the crucial bit. If it ends up hallucinating issues as LLMs tend to do[1], then it just adds more work for human developers to confirm its report.

Human devs can create false reports as well, but we're more likely to miss an issue than misunderstand and be confident about it.
