Kent Beck does mention CodeRabbit, however he also highlights the benefits of pairing with humans, as he later goes on to say:

It’s not pairing. Pairing is a conversation with someone who pushes back, who has their own ideas, who brings experience I don’t have. CodeRabbit is more like... a very thorough checklist that can read code.

I’d rather be pairing.

I miss the back-and-forth with another human who cares about the code. I miss being surprised by someone else’s solution. I miss the social pressure to explain my thinking out loud, which always makes the thinking better.
