Do you tell people you used a hammer to hit the nails? Do you go out of your way to explain to people that you don’t use your bare, bleeding knuckles to punch in the nails?

Give people some credit and don’t treat them like idiots.

Also don’t treat your LLM as some “super-power”, it’s just a fancy hammer and still hits your fingers if you don’t know how to use it.

Is it not more akin to asking a handyman to go and do the work for you? They are the ones wielding the hammer, youve just sent them off to go and do it on your behalf without getting your hands dirty. If you then claim to take credit for it, I can see how that might be misinterpreted.

As I see said quite often, an LLM is deemed of a similar ability to a junior software engineer. If I were that junior and my work was repeatedly ripped off by my senior colleague, I would be pissed. Not that an LLM cares in this instance, but the original requester might want to know

		> Is it not more akin to asking a handyman to go and do the work for you? Does your handyman go off the rails and build pipes around the neighbors house because they didn’t know you already have an incoming water pipe? Does your handyman require you to have expertise in plumbing to make sure they don’t use bubble gum to seal the pipes? It’s not taking credit if the “handyman” is a gibbering idiot who needs more handholding than a child.
