Vibe Coding plagiarism drama: 'Never seen it before' isn't originality, dev argues
ezshine · x · 2026-09-07
Developer ezshine weighed in on a Chinese AI community plagiarism dispute, arguing that Vibe Coding gives people frontend skills but not frontend taste — recreating an effect you've never seen doesn't make it original, it just exposes a narrow knowledge base.
Citing @LerSentAI's complaint that someone copied another's implementation and ideas without even crediting the source of inspiration, the thread highlights a growing tension in the vibe coding era: easy replication is blurring the line between originality and copy-paste creativity.
