Manmade debate

My friend and I tend to debate certain issues everytime we work together, and this is one that I'd like to discuss with the FFR community. He says that for something to be man-made, it has to be made literally, by the hands of a human. He says anything made by a machine is "machinemade". I said that since a machine is built and programmed by a human to create a specific product designed by a human, then it is manmade. I said that in order for something to be "machinemade", it must be an idea that came from the machine, and since that sort of AI hasn't been developed, then nothing is machinemade (yet).

So what does everybody else think?
