Would you contribute to a vibe coded repo? (lemmy.world)

I had to use a vibe coded library for a personal project as the alternatives just didn't work, and I don't care about the bugs as it's just for me to run the app one time.

However I did find some missing features I required that were easy to add, so I forked the project and added them. Then made a pull request.

But that made me think, would fellow anti ai people actually contribute back? Even if it was originally made with ai? Or would you go to the extreme and rewrite it yourself?

Update: after some reflection, I realised that it was hypocritical of me, as I got a rule of not promoting AI made content. I will not remove the pr, as they can just reopen it, but won't do it again

When I develop the skill, no, I wouldn't because it wouldn't be worth my time or energy to consider a vibe coded repo worthy of any contributions. It would be likely so messy and technically unsound from the very beginning because vibe coders don't work like a standard programmer, creating a base with sane defaults and gradually building up the software. They tell a fancy autocomplete to do all the work (they likely have zero skill and wouldn't be able to figure out if there was anything wrong with the code). I can't imagine the technical debt such a repo would accrue because there would be zero code maintenance, refinement, or improvement.
