Would you mind, if you could suddenly, over night, be a carpenter, a watch maker or glassblower?
Gating things by the level or complexity of what is accomplished isn't super helpful. I saw a lot of that with things like people that wrote HTML weren't "real coders".
Glassblowing and watch making require specialized equipment I suppose so if you can get your hands on the gear and try it out, I feel like you can call yourself that. Maybe throw a "hobbyist" tag on it if you feel inclined.

Yes. If that came with the little-bitty stipulation of being tied to the “compute” property of these AI behemoths.
Of course going beyond that it gets less problematic. Some carpenter-skilled exoskeleton is a lot less problematic than disembodied intelligences spamming our minds and each other.
[1] What exactly? My mind is so saturated with AI tools being literally devtools. On top of devtools on top of devtools.
Well we can finally get back to a semblance of the status quo ante Internetum with something like businesses being able to list all of their contact information on their own websites instead of “see our FB page”.
