Will this hurt anything, or should I extend the dryer vent? It was for a new generator install. Looks wrong.
Dryer vent pointed at plastic conduit?

Too late now but I would have put it through to the right, above the other LB.
Given that the vent is plastic, I'm pretty sure the LB is safe

should be fine. seeing as how the exhaust doesnt get hot enough to melt the vent cap, how would it harm the PVC conduit?

True. And since it's flowing hot air, even if it does heat the wires if they start out cold, I don't think the added heat would call for any derating since there are no splices in that LB.
I'd be more worried about clogging, and lint buildup. Rather than extending the vent elbow, I'd replace it with this style:

It is crazy how many holes are in modern homes. our grampa's homes had one in the center of the roof for the wood smoke.
Old homes leaked like a sieve
