then I would absolutely say that the tool is partially made using automated tools, and the phrase "handmade" would require some very major asterisks.
You do not need to qualify it with any scenarios how the metal parts might be handmade or not, or bring a "handmade" label into it. That's not what my analogy was about.
I did not ask if you would call it handmade or 100% handmade with a disclaimer. I asked if the whole thing would be called machine produced (just because parts of it were machine produced).
You could have an item made out of 100% machine produced items, like a bunch of lego bricks, that were turned into a playhouse by a playing child. You would not call that house machine produced. You probably would even call it hand made. It. The assembled thing.
But that's what's currently happening. If you look at a game that used ai assets, let's say graphics, that game's more information box currently says: AI Disclosure: AI Assisted, Graphics
What does ai assisted mean? It means nothing, but reads as it would mean something. It is listed in the box as if it would be a seperate category.
The solution would be to rename ai assisted into something like contains ai, and have the more information box read like this:
AI Disclosure: Graphics
