Also I do feel like this is a very substantial leap.

This is sort of like the difference between some and many.

Your editor has some effect on the final result so crediting it/mentioning it doesn't really impact it (but people still do mention their editor choices and I know some git repo's with .vscode which can show that the creator used vscode, I am unfamiliar if the same might be true for other editors too)

But especially in AI, the difference is that I personally feel like its doing many/most work. It's literally writing the code which turns into the binary which runs on machine while being a black box.

I don't really know because its something that I am contradicted about too but I just want to speak my mind even if it may be a little contradicted on the whole AI distinction thing which is why I wish to discuss it with ya.
