- I cloned a project from GitHub and made some minor modifications.
- I used AI-assisted programming to create a project.
Even if the content is identical, or if the AI is smart enough to replicate the project by itself, the latter can be included on a CV.
I think I would prefer the former if I were reviewing a CV. It at least tells me they understood the code well enough to know where to make their minor tweaks. (I've spent hours reading through a repo to know where to insert/comment out a line to suit my needs.) The second tells me nothing.
Its odd you don't apply the same analysis to each. The latter certainly can provide a similar trail indicating knowledge of the use case and necessary parameters to achieve it. And certainly the former doesnt preclude llm interlocking.
Why do you write like that?

Do people really see a CV and read "computer mommy made me a program" and think it's impressive
Unfortunately, it is happening. I remember an old post on HNs, it mentioned that a "prompt engineer for article generating" can find more jobs than a columnist writer. And op just wrote articles by himself but declared that all artices were generated by AI.
I'd quickly trash your application if I see you just vibe coded some bullshit app. Developing is about working smart, and its not smart to ask AI to code stuff that already exists, its in fact wasteful.
A CV for the disappearing job market as you shovel money into a oligarchy.
