The goal of Sr code review is not to make the code better, it's to make the author better.

Agree but even broader: authors. I always viewed reviews as targeting Brook's less famous findings about the optimal team size being one, and asking how can we get better at building systems too big for the individual. I think code review is about shared, consistent understanding with catching bugs a nice side effect (or justification for the bean counters).

		I agree, made (mostly) that point in my top level comment. Code reviews (both in the normal GitHub flow, but also small meetings, design reviews, etc) all help to tie the team together and improve quality.

That's not going to work when the author is an LLM
