Usually AI is marked as co-author, so you can't find it in the commit list.
I use the contributor graph to find where the AI made the commits [1] and then I search using the date [2], I found 3 commits relative to a11y stuff.

Co-author is so strange. Like, would anyone credit an IDE or even a script generating code as co-author? Even legally, tools don't have the ontological requirement to be credited as author.
Pretty sure it's just because if the tool generates the commit, it auto-adds itself as co-author. Like the iPhone emails that say "sent from iPhone"

Yes, but the equivalent of "sent from Invasive·marketing·of·some·MUA™" would be "generated with Ludicrious·Laughable·Mockery™".
That is, the MUAs don’t add "co-authored by myMUA".

Waiting for the day I get an email from someone that says "co-authored by my iphone"

I always tell Claude to turn that off. It looks incredibly tacky. I'll leave an agents.md file in the repo if I don't care about people knowing AI helped me.

Perhaps cause OP used "recently updated" apps? Vibecoded apps tend to have a higher update speed, thus skewing those results?

I actually don't see any significant signs of AI use. There's Copilot listed in the contributor list, but I'm not seeing commits listed under it. Did they wipe it off Github?
Some seem to stamp Mostly AI based on weaker circumstantial like large init commits. Maybe it's just an artifact of human sloppiness.
Or maybe it was just the artifact of choosing these by last update, since vibe-coded apps genuinely do have an abnormal number of releases, and thus would be much more likely to show up.
