Isn't that still considered cooking? If I describe the dish I want, and someone else makes it for me, I was still the catalyst for that dish. It would not have existed without me. So yes, I did cook it.
- krapp 9mo ago> If I describe the dish I want, and someone else makes it for me, I was still the catalyst for that dish. It would not have existed without me. So yes, I did "cook" it. The person who actually cooked it cooked it. Being the "catalyst" doesn't make you the creator, nor does it mean you get to claim that you did the work. Otherwise you could say you "cooked a meal" every time you went to MacDonald's.
- elliotbnvl 9mo agoWhy is the head chef called the head chef, then? He doesn’t “cook”.
- beaker52 9mo agoThe difference is that the head chef can cook very well and could do a better job of the dish than the trainee.
- 9rx 9mo agoTo differentiate him from the "cook", which is what we call those who carry out the actual act of cooking.
- elliotbnvl 9mo agoWell, don’t go around calling me a compiler!
- 9rx 9mo agoIf that's what you do, then the name is perfectly apt. Why shy away from what you are?
- krapp 9mo ago"head chef" is a managerial position but yes often they can and do cook.
- beaker52 9mo agoWork harder! Now I’m a life coach because I’m responsible for your promotion.
- hackable_sand 9mo agoVery apt analogy. I'm still waiting for my paycheck.
- maplethorpe 9mo agoOk, maybe my analogy wasn't the best. But the point I was trying to make is that using AI tools to write code doesn't meant you didn't write the code.
- mock-possum 9mo agoI would argue that you technically did not cook it yourself - you are however responsible for having cooked it. You directed the cooking.
