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.

    Certainly there’s some open-source version of the app out there somewhere.

    … which is what Claude was plagiarizing to build these ‘custom’ apps.
