Do you have any evidence that an LLM created something massive, but the person using it received all the praise?

Maybe not autonomously (that would be very close to economic AGI).

But I don't think the big companies are lying about how much of their code is being written by AI. I think back of the napkin math will show the economic value of the output is already some definition of massive. And those companies are 100% taking the credit (and the money).

Also, almost by definition, every incentive is aligned for people in charge to deny this.

I hate to make this analogy but I think it's absurd to think "successful" slaveowners would defer the credit to their slaves. You can see where this would fall apart.
