Unfortunately your being downvoted by the echo chamber participants that have to make sure you know that your opinion is wrong and theirs is better. AI is a tool, just like my impact gun. Yea there are times where you absolutely should not use an impact gun on something, but it’s THE tool for some situations. And yea, using an impact gun where you should t will get you in trouble just like using AI in situations you shouldn’t will get you in trouble. There is nothing new on that front!

I don’t disagree with the post you are responding to, almost all of that is reasonable.
Your overall argument would be more convincing if it wasn’t you doing the exact same thing you are complaining about.
As for specifics , the “Just a tool” argument is meh, not all tools are equal in potential benefit and harm.
Asbestos (while it is a material) was a “tool” used to insulate from heat.
Was it good at that, sure, it probably saved many lives, was it also harmful as fuck in the medium to long term, yes it was.
It can be a useful tool and also be a detriment, those things aren’t mutually exclusive.
The danger of a tool can also be mitigated with adequate safeguards that come from experience gained over time.
The argument then becomes risk vs reward, which is an entirely different conversation.
