Claude is a tool in the hands of the person using it. If you built a cabinet using power tools would you say the drill and saw built the cabinet? Or that you did?
I find it irritating when people send me a code review and say that Claude wrote the code. No, you wrote the code, you are responsible for the code. You can't blame Claude if it's crap and you don't have to credit Claude if it's genius. Claude is not a person.

- DarkTree 4mo agoClaude is not a single tool like a power drill or saw so I don't feel like this analogy fits well. Claude is more similar to the entire workshop and a robot using the tools and then you telling the robot what to build. So maybe that cabinet wouldn't exist without the human element but I think it's fair for other humans to feel that's not quite the same as building it yourself.
