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 Even if it was originally made with ai?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

    I wouldn’t contribute back, and would switch to (or write) an alternative ASAP.

    There are cases where I have to use AI-tainted dependencies (though, none of the AI-tainted dependencies I currently use across my projects are fully vibe coded, they’re merely tainted), but if I have to patch one? That’s gonna be a fork or rewrite, and there’s no chance in hell I’m contributing back.
