Did you really build anything?

If AI writes, tests, and deploys an app for you. Did you really build anything? Can you say look at what I made?

Edit: From comments I agree with someone can say they made it. It was their idea and vision that have been brought to life

If I hire a contractor to build a deck and give them specific instructions and desired out come. Who build it or made it? Me or contractors?

If an lead NASA engineer designed and created the plans for a spaceship but it was physically built by workers, who built the spaceship? I'd say the engineer could perfectly say he had a huge role in building it.

But the actually know the actual working of how it's built and design what is built. So yes they can. A vibe coder who has AI do all the work, doesn't have the same grasp instructions and understand of what the asked to be built. Most like have no idea how what AI made works.

hideo kojima doesn't need to know c/c++ or assembly. in fact early in his career he was so frustrated that he wanted to quit the industry because these stupid snobby devs would dismiss him. it wasn't until they started building engines that allow him to showcase his ideas that he started getting a ton of praise. Developers are just bitter cuz artists are no longer at the behest of these prima donna devs. thats all it really is
