I'd further say it's not a TRUE Scottish tinkering unless you're hand writing machine code yourself and feeding it via punch cards.

- coldtea 15d ago"I asked somebody else to do this hobby project for me" is not the same as "I tinkered" whether that somebody else is a person or AI. Same how you're not a musician just because you had Suno create something. So, no, sticking to the actual meaning of a thing is not true scotsman fallacy.

In this analogy, the person calling themselves a musician would have to be falsely calling themselves a programmer after using AI to code something. The word used here was "tinker" which can be any number of things. One can "tinker" with business ideas, investment theses, hardware designs, economic models, gameplay concepts, baking recipes, brewing formulas, and more.
- softwarewright 15d agoBut what if I use AI to write live demos where you can write machine code, debug it visually in your browser, punch data on virtual punch cards? What if I used AI to generate videos about this, generate the artwork, backgrounds, narration, intro music, etc. I guess I am just a meta-tinkerer :-)
