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

TranscriptNick 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’m aware of doing a mail merge but don’t think I’ve ever done one. I’m assuming I could find instructions if I ever needed to do one. They might’ve even taught us about it in school; I remember in eighth grade a class where they taught us some computer basics using Microsoft Works. That was almost 30 years ago, though, and what I’ve seen with my own kid is very little computer instruction, and the schools all just give them Chromebooks and Google Workspace accounts. It’s all much more basic, so between that and using phones it seems like they actually have less computer knowledge than prior generations. Maybe Gen X, Millennials, and some part of Gen Z will have a peak percentage of their population with computer literacy, more than the generations before or after. I’ll be curious to see what happens as Gen Z and Alpha enter the workforce. I’m starting to take time to teach my kid more about using software more advanced than what they’re exposed to in school.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
