What I Built
vibe-degrade is a tiny, delightfully useless Python tool that "adds AI flavor" to your code. It doesn't fix bugs or improve style — it makes your code look like an overzealous (and incompetent) AI touched it.
What it injects (including but not limited to):
- meaningless protective logic
- stupid type casts that accomplish nothing
- misspellings and odd word replacements in comments/strings
- if/else branches that will never be executed
- pointless print() statements and debug noise
The goal is maximal comedic value: make code parseable and runnable, but suspiciously AI-made.

How I Built It
- Language: Python.
- Approach: small code rewrites using AST for structure and token-level edits for strings/comments.
- Behavior: a tiny scheduler randomly applies lightweight transforms .
