> You've essentially made a novelty song

Disagree. Gp didn't make anything.

I told a waiter in a restaurant what I wanted to eat, and I got it. But I did not make the food : )

Maybe more like collaborated with a robo chef to make a plate of food based on a recipe you've adapted.

At some point you have to be OK with accepting "I made this" as meaning "my vision was executed under my supervision".

No one has to be ok with this.

Do you argue with a film director when they talk about having made a movie? Do you argue with a founder when they talk about having built a product?

No, I don't have to be okay with that.

It's like oneshotting an app with Lovable or cc and bragging about what "I made"

As the GP, I actually agree. I will never claim to have written the song, and I generally try to avoid claiming I "made" the song unless I include the "with Suno" caveat. I prefer to say that I "generated" the song.

Then can we also stop giving credit to CEOs for the products their company makes? Elon Musk doesn't make EVs or rocket ships.

Absolutely! CEOs does many and difficult things, but they don't build anything
