For what it is worth, I agree with you. The bugs introduced by AI are
different from bugs introduced by humans, and we do not have the
training to spot them efficiently.

Furthermore, I just looked at 167e343bbe, and it should never gotten in,
for reasons that jump to the eye, starting with the fact that it
contains multiple independent changes, and continuing with the fact the
coding style of the new code does not match ours and the fact that the
commit message contains references to previous versions of the same
patch.

Let us revert that at once.
