It is not. The right way to work with generative AI is to get the right answer in the first shot. But it's the AI that is not living up to this promise.

Reviewing 4 different versions of AI code is grossly unproductive. A human co-worker can submit one version of code and usually have it accepted with a single review, no other "versions" to verify. 4 versions means you're reading 75% more code than is necessary. Multiply this across every change ever made to a code base, and you're wasting a shitload of time.

That's not really comparing apples to apples though.

But that human co-worker spent a lot of time generating what is being reviewed. You're trading "time saved coding" for "more time reviewing". You can't complain about the added time reviewing and then ignore all the time saved coding. THat's not to say it's necessarily a win, but it _is_ a tradeoff.

Plus that co-worker may very well have spent some time discussing various approaches to the problem (with you), with is somewhat parallel to the idea of reviewing 4 different PRs.

You can have another AI do that for you. I review manually for now though (summaries, not the code, as I said in another message).
