well, i can at least assure you "it is possible not to laugh, when someone asks if its possible not to laugh, when someone calls themselves a producer".

oy
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

With me it totally depends on context. For instance, if someone claims authority on some matter of equipment choice based on their status as a producer, yeah, I'll probably laugh. But if they say it unpretentiously, I'll probably just say "oh", or "cool" if im in a good mood.

Well, if you produce something, you are producer? Something is being made by you, the producer. Unless i'm getting this meaning wrong.

Since this is a music related forum, a music producer is supposedly like being a film director.
I'm guessing the OP is suggesting self-proclaimed music producers have a high quotient of posers?

I don't laugh but often eye roll.
If you're like George Martin or Dan Lanois, you're a producer.
If you're writing and recording demo tracks to take to a studio for production, you're a songwriter/composer in need of a producer.
If you're making banging beats on fruity loops to wow your mum, producer you ain't, not yet.

Yeah, I don't get it. That's how I describe myself. Rather than "multi-instrumentalist, singer and sound-engineer", it's easier to just say "producer".
On a side-note. I personally passionately hate all the terms millennials use these days; Content creator, influencer, and maker. I hate it when younger people refer to my "songs" as "content"... all those cringy terms just make me think of some attention desperate 20 year (male or female of course) old putting out make-up tutorials shot (badly) and edited (badly) on an i-phone... GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

It depends who I’m talking to. If their name is Alan Parsons or Trevor Horn, I probably wouldn’t laugh.
