> I'm a programmer, and I use automatic programming. The code I generate in this way is mine. My code, my output, my production. I, and you, can be proud.
I disagree. The code you wrote is a collaboration with the model you used. To frame it this way, you are taking credit for the work the model did on your behalf. There is a difference between I wrote this code entirely by myself and I wrote the code with a partner. For me, it is analogous to the author of the score of an opera taking credit for the libretto because they gave the libretto author the rough narrative arc. If you didn't do it yourself, it isn't yours.
I generally prefer integrated works or at least ones that clearly acknowledge the collaboration and give proper credit.
Or for another analogy, just substitute the LLM for an outsourced firm. Instead of hiring a firm to do the work, you're hiring a LLM.
