- 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.

Do people really see a CV and read "computer mommy made me a program" and think it's impressive

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.
