I would not make too much effort in keeping the AI happy, for
something we understand is transient. It is currently not a gate for
acceptance.

The rules are being tweaked as we gain experience with it, so i would
not expect it to produce the same output every time. Even if it was
stable, it is not clear to me if it is reproducible.

I expect so. It is clearly not checkpatch.pl and the like were you can
run it 100 times and get the same answer every time. But i think that
is understood. So long as there has been a discussion about its
output, patches should get merged even if there are still AI
comments. It is just another tool used in the review conversations.
