The purpose of these reviewers is to flag the bug to you. You still need to read the code around and see if its valid and serious and worth a fix. Why does it matter if it then says the opposite after the fix? Did it even happen often or is this just an anecdote of a one time thing?

It’s like a linter with conflicting rules (can’t use tabs, rewrite to spaces; can’t use spaces, rewrite to tabs). Something that runs itself in circles and can also block a change unless the comment is resolved simply adds noise, and a bot that contradicts itself does not add confidence to a change.
