A better analogy would be a manufactured object, say 3d printed for simplicity. The 3d printer is given an input, and an object manifests itself after some time. We say that the creator of the object is the person turning on the machine, sending the data, and collecting the object. Not the machine itself.

I'd say the creator is the one who created the 3d model, not the one who pushed the print button.

I would say „I made this gadget with my 3d printer, but the designer is someone else (I found the model online)“. The intent, the drive, the action comes from the human

"I made this proof myself, but the designer is someone else" is an extremely unconvincing claim to ownership.

		Almost as if a proof isn’t the same as a 3d print. It’s just not a good analogy

(let's assume that)My 3dprinter is special. It has a bunch of values + an algorithm (i.e. a neural network) that takes input as tokens and outputs a printed object.
