   Did Claude find this on it's own, or did somebody using Claude find it?

      I find this to be a convenient distinction going around recently. Not making a judgement on your comment. Just generally:

      - a person demoing something they made

        - "we should say this is authored by Claude."
      

      - a demonstration of something achieved with the assistance of llms

        - "we should say this was a human directing Claude"

         It isn't a convenient gotcha. It's about what the people pushing the given thing are intending.

         Person demoing something they made is usually trying to hide the fact they had claude built it and sell it like they didn't. This sort of person often lacks the technical skills to vet that what claude actually produced is actually working as they expect. Hence the snark.

         On the other hand, with anthropic's case, they are trying to say "claude did this, how smart it is" while trying to downplay the fact that they needed it to be steered by domain experts to produce anything worthwhile.
