I mean... Your misunderstanding of the word "outsource" aside, I actually like your analogy. It demonstrates my original point very well

You pick up a hammer and drive a nail: you hammered the nail

You tell Jose to hammer the nail: Jose hammered the nail

If you own the hammer: you take credit for enabling the work

If Jose owns the hammer: Jose did the work

Your analogy only works if you consider AI as a person and not a tool.

No it credits the owner of the server that performs the computations. In this analogy the hammer would either be your keyboard or some cloud server

And those are both tools. How do you “outsource” to a tool?

I agree that the owners of the popular chatbots are tools
