It more like you texted a carpenter to make you a wardrobe.

The issue is we don't know if they texted the carpenter or had a detailed design discussion followed by detailed follow up and tweaks.

People often assume one extreme or the other, but in my opinion, this is where these disagreements stem.

Yes an usually it is easy to tell one shot ai attempts vs careful or interatively regimes designs. Just because ai was used to execute and help generate the design in detail does not mean the human in the loop is not essential to the product.

In both cases it was not a solo project.
