I'm asking you to explain what the actual difference is and you're avoiding the question.

If we had a complete black box where you submitted Prompt and out came Thing, and you had zero clue what said black box actually did, could you claim creation over Thing? What does knowing that it's a human vs LLM make materially different in terms of whether or not you created it?

And I - or did I turn this thread over to an LLM already? - am asking you a question in return, whose answer should give you the answer you want.

No please, I also agree with parent poster. Talk to the LLM, cause the human ain't listening.
