That's not too different for crediting e.g. a typewriter as the tool used to author the text. That is, not ridiculous, but not new.

- croes 16d agoI can prompt AI to create code I couldn’t write myself, I can hardly say that about a typewriter. It’s more like a calculator that does calculations I can’t do. Can you perform calculations involving roots and logarithms without a calculator? If not, do you claim YOU can calculate them?
- Kinrany 16d agoYou can write and calculate much faster with a typewriter and a calculator than you would do the same by hand, and you can use both even if you don't know handwriting or the algorithm for calculating logarithms by hand.
- croes 16d agoBut you need to know the spelling to write the correct words with the typewriter, you don’t need to know with AI if you use voice recognition. You need to know a programming language either to get a working program. If you can do everything AI can, then you can use it like a tool like a typewriter but given the fact that many people can’t do what AI does for them, AI is something different then a typewriter. By your logic a secretary is something like a typewriter too.
