yes. Because that would still mean they didn't code the app.

"killing is bad!" "but what if the murderer 3d printed his own gun?"

More like: "killing is bad" "but what if the 'murderer' designed, build and produced their own target?"

You can't kill a robot, so it isn't killing.

the "target" is to get useful software out. The ai is the tool. In this example, the ai is the gun. It is the tool used to achieve the goal.

Anyone can make an improvised hammer. Stick a rock or a piece of metal on a stick. But that doesn't make them carpenters, even though they made their own tools.
