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

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.

    I saw someone insisting that it was amazing AI could send letters to hundreds officials all across the state to advocate for removing Flock cameras, saving them the time of doing each one individually. You have never heard of form letters?

    That’s what they’re impressed by? Fuckin’ mail merge?!

    That was being touted as the “killer app” for home computers in 1990!
