Same here.LLMs are really good at code review providing they are configured correctly and have right docs and prompts.

Github copilot review is s great example of the worst possible way this can be misused. It is the worst waste of tokens there is.

Instead we use a process we created ourselves that runs opus or sonet (depending on complexity) to do a review (taking into account pr description and comments - copilot ignored those) and then to re-review the issues found to cut out BS.

This has been working very well mainly thanks to the prompts and docs we made it read, as well as us having lots of example code that shows how things should and should not be done.

One crappy thing Github does is that it doesn't allow our workflow based review's tokens to be accounted to individual PR authors like "copilot review" does, but accounts tokens to the organisation. It is obvious they are trying to herd people to using gh copilot review instead. But the quality difference is like night and day. So we are staying.
