I was so hoping that this would not be about AI, and actually talk about how we need to do better as an industry and start using objective measures of software quality backed by government standards.
Nope, its about AI code reviewing AI, and how that's a good thing.
Its like everyone suddenly forgot the old adage: "code is a liability".
"We write code twice as fast!" just means "we create liability twice as fast!". It's not a good thing, at all.

I had thought that putting quotes around the phrase "independent auditor" above would have prevented this sort of misunderstanding, but clearly not, so I've changed the title to something more straightforward now.

This is advertising for an AI product. Slightly more interesting background story than most articles doing so, but still an ad for a product that probably won't actually work.

So, consider this hearsay that it works.
