Sorry about the OT, but I see this more and more often:

Project License: MIT

Readme.md: "Project is about 80% Vibecoded.

80% of your project is public domain.

I'm not saying don't use AI. But at least shut up about how much.

This project uses MIT (which IMHO is already a small problem because it has no patent grant), but I see people vibecoding almost all of a project and then using AGPL.

Doesn't work like that. AI code can't be copyrighted. No copyright => public domain.

Please don't sleepwalk only to wake up to some company closing your projects and laughing at you.
