Depends on the project. Oneshots, yes, the prompter had almost nothing to do with it. Same as with AI art, it can't be copyrighted if it was just prompted.

More complex projects are still human built as the models require steering, but that will change in the near future as well as I think good software design can be RL'd to the models.

Even if you're steering it, you have the same amount of control over the application as a manager does over a programmer. Did the manager make the software?

I think you're assuming the engineer doesn't go and examine the code, doesn't say to Claude "hey, this is wrong, because..." and get a new revision.

And if your manager is involved in the day to day coding of <whatever> then absolutely s/he has a right to say s/he (and others) built it. I used to be a very hands-on engineering manager (pair-programming they call it, these days) at Apple - I always used to say "My team and I".

Well, that's what I do, anyway.

I mean my manager will often come by and say "hey, this is wrong because...", and I'll fix it. It's part of our QA Process

Is your manager doing code review?
