Open source software, by the admission of this article, is a critical input to AI agents useful for code generation. So the way I see it is that there is now an entire industry that is incentivized to financially support open source software for entirely new reasons. To keep the models trained on new languages, libraries, and developments in computer science, they need to make sure that high quality modern code is still freely available, forever.

Vibe coding eventually creates more value for FOSS, not less.
