Is it not more akin to asking a handyman to go and do the work for you? They are the ones wielding the hammer, youve just sent them off to go and do it on your behalf without getting your hands dirty. If you then claim to take credit for it, I can see how that might be misinterpreted.

As I see said quite often, an LLM is deemed of a similar ability to a junior software engineer. If I were that junior and my work was repeatedly ripped off by my senior colleague, I would be pissed. Not that an LLM cares in this instance, but the original requester might want to know

Does your handyman go off the rails and build pipes around the neighbors house because they didn’t know you already have an incoming water pipe?

Does your handyman require you to have expertise in plumbing to make sure they don’t use bubble gum to seal the pipes?

It’s not taking credit if the “handyman” is a gibbering idiot who needs more handholding than a child.

That seems like an extreme interpretation if I'm honest. As ever, its more likely somewhere in between your hammer analogy and the handyman. In any case, there is almost zero downside to listing your sources when answering a question as it provides the person asking the question with more context as to the origin of the answer

I generally provide the source for my information. Even if I already know the answer, I will generally provide a reference on the web or in a document. If I asked an LLM, I will provide that as part of my answer, and I'll generally chip in whether the answer makes sense to me or not; in some cases I'll say that I have no clue if the LLM response makes sense.

Needless to say, I have probably not advanced as far as someone who hoards information, because companies tend to value the information hoarders, but this is just the way I'm designed to operate. I despise information hoarding.
