I designed the system, wrote the spec, validated the output, and ran it through a test framework I'm building that generates constraints in isolation. Then checks the implementation against those constraints in a feedback loop until they all are met/pass. But yes, claude wrote the code.

I'm comfortable calling that building something. If you're not, that's fine, but the distinction between 'prompted an AI' and 'designed and validated a system using AI tooling' is important.

My opinion is I think that there is a massive gulf between 'wrote the spec' and 'validated the output'.

I think if the answer to "could I do this again without claude" is no then it is difficult to claim ownership.

If you're just adding endpoints to some web project and doing feature work then whatever, if you are "rewriting tree sitter in rust" which a lot of these posts seem to be I think it deserves some skepticism.
