I actually got really clean, well commented code from Copilot earlier this week.
I have no experience with JavaScript to speak of, but realized a Bookmarklet would be a perfect solution for reformatting a particular web app for printing. I already had a head replacement with CSS to do all the formatting, and I was using a RegEx to strip all script tags.
Anyway, I asked Copilot to write the Bookmarklet to replace the header, with full contents explaining the training behind the code, and an explanation of how the script functions below. When I got an error, I asked if to fix the error and or identified that Bookmarklets work better as single lines, so it fixed it. Then I added the requirement about replacing scripts, and it did that too, but for commented and a clean one-line version.
The one-live versions even up getting truncated, so I need to copy/paste from earlier (correct) endings, but otherwise it was an incredibly smooth experience.
I spent longer writing the guide for how to use it than the time it took to vibe code it and test it. I was super impressed.
You claim no JavaScript experience, declare confident in the comments and include any examples.
All you’ve really said here is you vibed coded a solution to a problem using one of the most common languages without knowing the language. And made claims you do not attempt to prove.

(Granted, that’s a pretty easy coding task…)
