Post argues AI-prompted math and Musk’s rocket credit are the same attribution problem

The post argues there is no meaningful difference between dismissing math done with an AI prompt and dismissing Elon Musk’s credit for reusable rockets because he only told employees what to do.
The underlying point is about attribution: if directing humans can still earn credit for a breakthrough, then prompting a model should not automatically erase authorship claims either.
