Actually curious, if a PR addresses the problem and has a minor bug or two, what would be an example of that PR being a waste of time?

If it's 200 lines of code that introduces a new bug, when it could be 20 lines of code that doesn't.

It takes me a lot longer to review the 200 line version.

If it takes me longer to review (and fix) a PR than it took someone (using an LLM) to create it, they've wasted my time.
