that part is the system prompt, the script is a function that takes a prompt describing a shell command as an argument

I suppose that for me the tool rarely contributes to the design and execution. At work and for any project I care about, I prompt once I know what I want, in terms of both function and the shape of the program to do it. If the model gen matches the shape closely enough, I accept, otherwise iterate from there. To me this is authorship.

When I vibe code - which for me, means using very high level prompts and largely not reading the output - then I could see attributing authorship to a model; but then I wonder what the purpose of authorship attribution is to begin with. Is it to tell you who to talk to about the code? Is it personal attestation to quality, or to responsibility? Is it credit? Some combination of these certainly, but AI can hold none except the last, and the last is, to me, rather pointless. Objects don't have feelings and therefore are unaffected by whether credit is given or not; that's purely a human concern.

I suppose the dividing line is fuzzy and perhaps best judged on the basis of the obscenity rule, that is, I know it when I see it.

I do see your point. I suppose the question is what authorship entails, or should entail.

To me, Claude is not a who, it's an it. Before AI, did you credit your code completion engine for the portions of code it completed? Same thing

Yeah, nothing wrong with keeping the metadata - but "Authored-by" is both credit and an attestation of responsibility. I think people just haven't thought about it too much and see it mostly as credit and less as responsibility.

A junior is a person. A tool is a tool. Do you credit your text editor with authorship?

You are the one not being civil replying to people expressing their legitimate opinion with the text "Fuck you I got mine". I see you've since deleted your reply.

You still have X11. Why are you crying?

People worked - for free - on what they wanted to work on, and that is wayland. Who are you upset at?

Would you say it's fair to describe autoresearch as a form of neural architecture search? I am curious what you think the core differences are between them.

Yeah, the band is The Winstons. I'm curious how parent knew that they went to court when they don't know the name of the band.

That is how Mediawiki works. Everything is a page, including CSS and JS. It is not really different than including JS in a webpage anywhere else.
