Content with a heavy smell of being AI generated already gets flagkilled. Vibecoded repos on GitHub don't strictly fall into that bucket since they can still provide functional utility.

Do you have a specific example of something that should not be allowed but did not get flagkilled?

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47477284 was definitely somewhere between generated by and edited by AI.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48411799 originally linked to the pdf version which is clearly AI generated.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47602500 Also clearly AI edited.

Separately I've gotten down voted for pointing out something is AI generated, but if it's explicitly policy that it isn't allowed, it seems like that should be written down.
