Is what you're referring to but even if you have dedicated testers that's still people who have to go through the influx of pulls.

Then there's preference changes as well.

Even if there's nothing wrong with this one for instance. Someone will like "get rid of hard-coded" where as I would oppose this change because it makes it harder to read.

So you still need core team to look over it. If ai gives you 1000 of these in different areas it's wasting time. While people can read about standards, ai doesn't rather it just does what it's told.
