Disapprove and ask for a call where the author must verbally explain the changes to receive approval? This seems like a solvable problem, and one that already existed in repos with many contributors of varying skill (open source, bigco with lots of interns). Letting bugs through is an even bigger time sink.
It comes down to culture on the team, if you think your leadership will allow that/you won't get a bad perf review for doing it go for it. That is sadly not a lot of peoples reality.
If you work at a small shop that may work. Everyone is 100xer now thanks to AI. No one has time to actually go through all this nonsense, not even the people who "wrote" it. Approve and pray you're not the one on call is the only viable strategy for some.
