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" ๐

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.
Perhaps, but usually AI readme's aren't a bunch of small commits as dev happens: https://github.com/mbeher2200/DarkHours/blame/main/README.md
Claude was definately used here, it's even a contributor in blames, but it feels more like an assist than vibes.
