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.
Finding those thousands of tables for a fitness plan is the problem though. The internet has been enshittified so much that it’s easier and faster to ask the AI to crawl through the sewage of ad-infected clickbait sites.
The internet is a complete waste of ressources.
We can use it to share information, but there has never been a time where this wasn’t accompanied by a massive abuse of bandwidth by someone trying to sell stuff in the same breath.
