Of the MANY things I've completed in the last year that I would never have done without an LLM, a human got 100% of them started. The ideas were mine in every case.

But it is still a fact that I have been taking on all sorts of tasks I would never have taken on if I didn't have power tools.

My comment was solely about the correct attribution who made the initial finding. It's not a comment about the value of AI. I think we can get facts right and still argue for or against AI.

That's a pet peeve of mine as well, the inability to discuss facts / correct mistaken things on the internet, if the fact/mistake is on the "wrong" side of an argument.

I don't think I'm doing that though.

The context is a discussion about whether it would have been found without the assistance of an LLM. I agree that further upthread there maybe some misattribution but it is not present in the post you were directly replying to and it is not really the argument being made.

His whole sentiment was yelling several times "LLMs did this". He wanted to smuggle his pro AI attribution in, one way or another. In that way I could also argue "without humans, we wouldn't have LLMs." But it doesn't have value, right? I don't know why some try so hard to play down any human impact in this context. LLMs can help to find bugs. Without broader context it's a good and interesting thing. There is no need to trample over everything left and right just to overhype it.
