Hill I will die on: Claude didn’t “write” anything. “Write” implies agency and a mind; Claude has neither.

That said, OP is correct: you didn’t write it either. You generated it, or produced it, or maybe extruded it, using Claude. And you’re still responsible for it, and for making sure it’s correct, fit for purpose, and not utter shite.
Look, if you want to write some code with an LLM, fine. You shouldn't, but fine.

However you absolutely do not get to say *you* wrote it. You didn't. The computer wrote it for you.

If I buy a car from Honda, I don't get to say I made the car. It's the same principle.

We have to stop normalizing language like "I made x with Claude."

No you didn't. Better: "I paid Anthropic to write x for me."

The former is intellectual dishonesty.
