A reliable two-stage LLM classification framework (86.1% accuracy, κ=0.767) enables scalable measurement of whether comments lead to code changes. The strongest predictors of addressing are comment source (human vs. AI, hunk-level vs. file-level granularity), manual vs. automatic triggering, and high code-to-text ratio; notably, AI reviews are disproportionately useful for less experienced contributors. The paper explicitly frames all associations as correlational and recommends treating AI reviewers as complements to, not replacements for, human review.",
