I really appreciate this point from mitchellh. Giving thoughtful constructive feedback to help a junior developer improve is a gift. Yet it would be a waste of time if the PR submitter is just going to pass it to an AI without learning from it.

Junior developers are entering a workforce where they will never not be using AI

Half the planet is more AI-positive than the US. Something like only 4% of Chinese people are concerned about AI while around half of Americans are concerned about AI.
