You laugh, but in 5 years, a metric butt ton of vibe coded projects will look exactly like this.
The README can only be out of date if the project is maintained without too much AI.
Because AI could fix a typo and then waste your tokens regenerating the entire README to tell new users that there was a typo that was removed.
Most of them just get abandoned not long after being made. You'll know an old vibe-coded project because it had 20,000 commits within the first 3 days of being created, a sporadic few over the next few months, and then absolutely nothing at all for years afterward.
