Speaking here as an art noob who generally knows nothing of what the pieces are supposed to mean or what their societal context was when they were made and what forces they were pushing against etc:

When my arty partner drags me into art museums with huge abstract modern art pieces with just big splotches of heavily textured color (I’m thinking in particular of one giant piece filling a wall with jagged black heaps of paint) they do in fact make me feel feelings.

In my case, as in OP’s case, they were really bad feelings. I would prefer not to feel really bad and I don’t like that art. But I certainly couldn’t call it ineffective fart-huffing!

It’s a little late now that there’s camps, sure. If people had refused harder to put up with shitty democrats in the past, like… decades past… then the dems would’ve lost to past republicans who weren’t quite dictators.

In that alternate past where the dems actually lose for being center-right corporatists, they would’ve had to get some kind of spine or plan or… something… earlier to protect our public news and education from authoratarian misinformation and maybe prevented this bullshit.

In this current world that we actually have though… I mean you saw we elected Biden, right? And you saw how much good that did – right? We need somebody on our side with some teeth and rolling over for milquetoast donation collectors is not going to get it for us.

OP If you’re really going to do this (questionable imo) then you’d need to find some kind of list that gets updated automatically. Because if you just make fox and OAN suck he’s more likely to find some other, worse thing you never heard of.

But if you do do this behind his back and he notices, you can pretty much forget about him ever trusting you for anything again. Those are the stakes.

Say it however you want that works for your relationship.

What I meant to be saying there was — if nobody tells him his review comments aren’t helpful anymore, then he probably won’t know.

I’m speaking from the perspective of somebody who spends like 1/2 their time or more doing code reviews, if I’m wasting people’s time I would want to know it

You need to tell him that. Seriously. Pick some especially bad example to point at, and come to him with, “Hey Bob, I used to get real value from your review comments. I could tell you were thinking about what to say and it helped me to produce better code. Now it seems I am mostly seeing LLM-generated junk like this one that doesn’t help anybody. This isn’t an improvement, can you go back to the more helpful way you used to do things?”

I’m imagining what happens is they organize a giant search party to look for you (this is not the good kind of giant party) Eventually they find your corpse and put it in a refrigerator for a long time while your relatives argue with the police about whether you were kidnapped and murdered. Somebody pays for all this, maybe the tax payers, maybe your relatives, I don’t know. Then after all that you finally get to have your expensive funeral but on top of being sad, everybody is frustrated.

I’m thinking, better all around if you just don’t die quite yet because that shit is just awkward.

Gluck auf!
