It's pretty good for native English speakers at work who need/want a reverse anger translator.

Me: This is the most garbage code I've ever seen. It's bad and you should feel. It's not even wrong. I can't even fathom the conceptual misunderstandings that led to this. I'm going to have to rewrite the entire thing at this rate, honestly you should just try again from scratch.

With AI: I've had some time to review the code you submitted and I appreciate the effort and work that went into it. I think we might have to refine some parts so that it aligns more closely with our coding standards. There are certain areas that are in need of restructuring to make sure the logic is more consistent and the flow wouldn't lead to potential issues down the road.

I sympathize with the sibling comment about AI responses being overly-verbose but it's not that hard to get your model of choice to have a somewhat consistent voice. And I don't even see it as a crutch, this is just automated secretary / personal assistant for people not important enough to be worth a human. I think a lot of us on HN have had the experience of the stark contrast between comms from the CEO vs CEO as paraphrased by their assistant.
