So telling someone to make a table for you is more human than making it yourself, because you're using natural language instead of saws and hand planes?

I would say yes, conversing between two humans, maybe even collaborating, is more human than a solitary human using inanimate objects.

Basket weaving is more human than conversation. Language is entry level artificial man.

Even if the table collapses down badly instead of doing a proper one with a good set of tools?

That's a bad comparison. You have to compare crafting a table manually to doing it via CNC.
