Feeling overwhelmed and isolated as a developer in a challenging team environment

I’m currently feeling overwhelmed and isolated in my role as a developer at my company. There are five of us on the team, but the other four previously worked together at their last job and were hired as a package deal, leaving me as the odd one out. This has created a really tough environment for me. Every day, I’m inundated with a flood of pull requests (PRs) from my coworkers that are mostly just garbage AI-generated code. They don’t check it for quality, and it’s becoming impossible to manage. When management discovers the issues, we all get called out in meetings, but I feel like I’m being unfairly dragged down with them since I’m not involved in creating that mess. I’ve tried to voice my concerns during team discussions, but one of the junior tech leads consistently shuts me down, making it difficult for me to contribute. It feels personal, and I’m starting to feel targeted. When I bring up the overwhelming number of PRs or the poor quality of the code, they just dismiss my concerns. I’m at a point where I’m questioning whether I should just update my resume and leave. Has anyone else experienced this kind of exclusion and frustration with a team? How did you handle it?
