I suppose the question is "Do you feel Steve Jobs made the iPhone?"

Not saying right/wrong but it's a useful Rorschach Test - about what you feel defines 'making this'?

it's more just a personal want to be able to see what I can do on my own tbh; i don't generally judge other people on that measure

although i do think Steve Jobs didn't make the iPhone /alone/, and that a lot of other people contributed to that. i'd like to be able to name who helps me and not say "gemini". again, it's more of a personal thing lol

So not disagreeing as you say, it is a personal thing!

I honestly find coding with AI no easier than coding directly, it certainly does not feel like AI is doing my work for me. If it was I wouldn't have anything to do, in reality I spend my time thinking about much higher level abstractions, but of course this is a very personal thing too.

I myself have never thought of code as being my output, I've always enjoyed solving problems, and solutions have always been my output. It's just that before I had to write the code for the solutions. Now I solve the problems and the AI makes it into code.

I think that this probably the dividing line, some people enjoy working with tools (code, unix commands, editors), some people enjoy just solving the problems. Both of course are perfectly valid, but they do create a divide when looking at AI.

Of course when AI starts solving all problems, I will have a very different feeling :-)
