~~Creator~~ instructor

Hmm, I see what you are going for but is "instructor" the proper term? To cut AI out of the picture, let's say the guy instead of paying for tokens paid a team of developers who did the work for him. What would you call the guy then? He does exactly the same amount and type of work in both cases, but obviously noone would call him "instructor".

That's called hiring a team of developers. I believe this would fall under the term producer depending on the situation? If he paid a team of developers and claimed he coded it himself then he'd be called a liar

That’s called hiring a team of developers.

Yeah, and this is called "prompting some vibe coded software", but we are looking a single word title that applies to such a person. "Producer" makes sense I guess, but did he really "produce" it or did he just tell someone or something to produce it?
