Exactly, claude is just a tool like any other, so many people treat it as a living being lol

it's not a tool if you say "make this" and it makes it, it's like a person telling a chef to cook food then claiming they made the food themselves.

A chef is a real person, claude is not. It's like saying "you didn't do the laundry, you just pressed a button on the washing machine"

Also if it isn't a tool, then what do you think it is?

You're getting caught up in wording. Its a tool yes, and we use shorthand for things like saying "I washed my clothes" when we didnt actually do the washing but I think most rational people understand the difference between that and saying you drew a picture when you just told an ai to make a picture.

A better way to look at it is that we don't say "I made directions to the event" we say "Google gave me directions". We told Google where we wanted to go and google did the work of making the directions, so maybe its better to say AI gave me a picture, or AI made me a picture.

Unfortunately humans use wording as communication so you need to define where the line in the wording is.

If I develop the Ai and then told it to make the image, did I make the image then? If I drew 90% of the image but Ai did 10%, did I make the image? 80%? 70%?

It can be more like a choreographer directing a group of dancers and then claiming they choreographed the performance, which is accurate. I don’t compile my code, I just write high-level instructions and let a computer do 99.999% of the actual work required to execute my mod concept.

There’s nothing particularly wrong with that. That’s a perfectly normal and acceptable workflow for people who have jobs.

Or more accurately a choreographer telling their dancers "make an awesome dance routine" coming back later then taking credit for it.

That depends entirely on the prompter. Your level of involvement is up to you

Even if you call it a commission, any sufficiently detailed “commission” is indistinguishable from art.

Weird. Your last comment seems to have been deleted.

Yes, but there are people where all they do is tell the AI to make something, contribute no effort than just saying "make" and then claim they made it. It's a different conversation for people with jobs, it's the ones who just prompt and nothing else while claiming they did all the work.

Different people put in different amounts of effort. Prompting takes a non-zero amount of effort, and it can take a considerable amount of effort to vibe code a good, functional mod.

The sheer fact that AI was used at all means nothing.
