I don't understand this rebuttal at all. There is a huge difference between having an idea and implementing it yourself, and handing your idea (plus suggestions and data structures or whatever) to other people to implement. In the latter case, the team completing the project gets a lot of credit for the work. That has certainly been the case everywhere I've worked, and I wouldn't have it any other way, even in cases where I was more of the concept guy. I haven't played Civilization, but I'm sure if you play it to the end, you'll see a nice list of people who worked on the game, not just Sid Meier.

So are you saying we should have a credits doc for all major contributors to all software and hardware products, both human and LLM? I'd agree with that, this is not available at the moment for the most popular and profitable products in use currently.
