Do I detect a bit of a mocking attitude here? I don't see any reason for that. Why would we want to lose a chance to check images that are being uploaded on Commons? It is very good practice that we check if source is provided, if the source seems plausible, if permission is provided, if there is anything dubious about the image etc. We should try to check these things with fresh uploads and transfers from other projects.
If we are to presume something, I presume that local projects have at least as many copyvios or sourceless/permissionless images as Commons. That is, within the range of 10-30 %.
It seems that the community would rather see a higher success rate and is quite irate when a human review fails as badly as a bot review would: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/User...
