MODERATORS
If you're the reviewer you share responsibility if there's an issue with the PR. Hopefully your teams culture is such that issues like that are treated as a learning experience, rather than a reason to pile on the individuals involved.
If you have someone on your team that creates 6k PRs with AI then you are in a loose-loose situation anyways. If you do a thorough review you will be done just in time for the next one and you will get in trouble for not getting your own shit done. So gambling on the PR is probably your best shot at survival.
Just don't approve it? If they complain, they don't have a leg to stand on.
If it can't be sensibly be reviewed, reject it for that reason. Have them, or their agent, break it down into smaller, self contained, PRs.
