You wouldn't call someone who puts food in a microwave a chef, would you? And you wouldn't say that putting food in the microwave is the same thing as cooking a Michelin star meal. These are different things.

I have a hunch this is not lost on you though, and you're doing this performatively.

Please stop. It is beyond tiresome, and it is not going to compel anybody. On the contrary, it is a great way to induce animosity.

I assure you that what you're describing is lost on no one either; rather, unlike you, plenty of people simply do not care, and find this distinction trite at best. Especially when presented this way.

    Uh, duh? I’m trying to draw a distinction that the person isn’t doing the work, the LLM is.

    Sorry, what had you under the impression I was trying to make friends? When people who suck show up to your spot, you make them go away by making it clear they’re not welcome.
