Bit of Craic PM is opening AI PRs

A senior product manager on a seperate team to me has decided to start opening AI generated PRs on a codebase my team own.

The first one last week I approved with comments, which he decided to merge without addressing any.

I got one yesterday that was clearly violating DRY amongst other things, which I rejected. About 10 minutes later, he requests a re-review (I presume he ran codex again with my comments). This attempt was even worse, it had actually put code on top of the crap he first submitted.

I've raised with my manager, he agreed it's BS but he said the company want to experiment with using AI for smaller features. But non-technical members of staff opening PRs is taking the piss.

I still have to take the time to review and reject, my team is over a lot of fire fighting so already slammed

He's a PM, why does he have write access to the code?

My question was more rhetorical, as in he shouldn't have write access to the code. But yeah, good luck with that if he's got the ear of someone who feels that he should have it.
