I made two AIs review each other's code for 30 days. A human still caught the bug in 5 minutes.

It was one sentence: <strong>the thing that writes the code can never be the thing that reviews it.</strong> A model grades its own homework and it always passes.</p> <p>So this month I did the obvious next experiment.
