What’s the difference if you review the code getting merged?

Reviewing the correctness of code is a lot harder than writing correct code, in my experience. Especially when the code given looks correct on an initial glance, and leads you into faulty assumptions you would not have made otherwise.

I'm not claiming AI-written and human-reviewed code is necessarily bad, just that the claim that reviewing code is equivalent to writing it yourself does not match my experience at all.

Code review basically never actually means thinking through all the code again as if you wrote it

The difference is we can't tell if you reviewed the code.

i mean idk that's sorta like asking what's the difference of having tests if you review the code getting merged
