Short version: Two seperate “vibe-coders” used Claude to create an app–which turned out identical. And then the coders went after each other.

Transcript

Nick Lockwood: Holy shit, so the “Claude plagiarised an app” story is actually “Claude produced the same app twice when prompted to do so by two separate developers” 😅

I looked at the replies to this post, did some more digging, and found the actual story is even weirder.

BOTH projects were generated using Claude. So you have two people - both generating the same app from the same training data - having a public throw down over who copied who. Kind of embarrassing.

    Certainly there’s some open-source version of the app out there somewhere. Or at least enough to lazily glue together into the app.

    Yeah, but that code is probably copyleft. They probably want the LLM to launder the license for them so they can get away with using it in their proprietary commercial product.
