Distilled:

> Users should claim the output of LLMs as their own, for the following reason. LLMs are tools; tools can be used with varying degrees of skill; the output of tools (including LLMs) is a function of the user's skill; and therefore the output is attributable to and belongs to the user.

> Furthermore, we should use tools, including LLMs, actively and mindfully. We shouldn't switch off our brains and accept the output uncritically. We should iterate and improve as we go along.

I agree with you that the author seems to inappropriately convert differences in degree of skill into differences of kind.
