I think for someone that is very knowledgeable In a project they would probably somehow now if there is vibe coding. I think this will affect brand new projects but not that much of the older codebase. Even think it might enable finding old bugs in old open source codebase.
You are more optimistic than the maintainers of those older projects that have started to ban LLM generated bug reports. They tend to be a waste of time for the maintainers (e.g.: cURL project).
