Isn't that still considered cooking? If I describe the dish I want, and someone else makes it for me, I was still the catalyst for that dish. It would not have existed without me. So yes, I did cook it.

Work harder!
Now I’m a life coach because I’m responsible for your promotion.
Ok, maybe my analogy wasn't the best. But the point I was trying to make is that using AI tools to write code doesn't meant you didn't write the code.
Very apt analogy. I'm still waiting for my paycheck.

The person who actually cooked it cooked it. Being the "catalyst" doesn't make you the creator, nor does it mean you get to claim that you did the work.
Otherwise you could say you "cooked a meal" every time you went to MacDonald's.
Why is the head chef called the head chef, then? He doesn’t “cook”.
To differentiate him from the "cook", which is what we call those who carry out the actual act of cooking.

The difference is that the head chef can cook very well and could do a better job of the dish than the trainee.
"head chef" is a managerial position but yes often they can and do cook.
I would argue that you technically did not cook it yourself - you are however responsible for having cooked it. You directed the cooking.
