AI can scan more code than humans, but engineers still own quality

- The post argues that AI can review more code than humans, but it cannot own software quality.
- Its value is to continuously scan pull requests, legacy code, dependencies, and repeated patterns so bugs, security risks, naming drift, duplicated logic, and unstable behavior surface earlier.
- Human engineers still decide severity, architecture fit, business impact, technical debt, and release risk.
- The core point is that AI improves the quality pipeline, but judgment still determines what gets fixed.
