That saying (or, dare I say, thought-terminating cliché) glosses over the consideration of risks and costs that result from its uncritical usage. No sane person should trust it without serious reservations just because it fits the purpose, and that’s true whether or not it bears the latest combination of letters peddled by tech bros. It’s a dangerous, irresponsible mentality. It’s a tool the same way a sledgehammer made out of plutonium is a tool.
I mean in an old nuclear bomb that’s pretty much the situation. Use a conventional explosive to slam some plutonium like a sledgehammer and nukes have proven to be a strong deterrent when a country had them. Still a tool with a use case
Your comment is a sweeping statement that is thought terminating itself.

Using a tool for something it’s intended for automatically involves some thought process. And this thought process also involves its limitations and potential for danger.
Your criticism stems from your dislike for AI and your opinion that it’s generally not useful. An opinion that is shared widely here, but with little to no proof at all.
Your comment is so fit for purpose, displaying such a massive willful ignorance about the world in general. Because the biggest problem with asbestos wasn’t using it for home insulation. It killed millions of workers in manufacturing plants and mines. Its biggest industrial use case was for electrical insulation of high voltage transmission lines. Where it also killed hundreds of thousands of technicians in the us alone. Before that it was used for lamp wicks. Where it killed at least a couple of millions more over a century. Today, asbestos kills 250 thousand people a year, 12 to 15 thousand in the us every year.
I supposed any tool can be considered useful if you’re ignorant enough about it or if you’re willing to lie without remorse.
It’s a tool, use it where it works and don’t where it doesn’t.
But that doesn’t work with the people creating AI as they are totally dependent on the believe that AI can do absolutely everything (and an artificial general intelligence is just moments away…) to justify they insane investments. So they will make up a million stupid narratives why some people are “actually” not using AI as it obviously can’t be because of AI shortcomings…
You are probably also one of those insane ideologues that refuse to hammer in a screw for some reason, although you know how well that hammer worked on nails… 😂

Na, fuck that shit. Just don’t use it.
And then your boss says: “Use it for everything or you’re fired. Why are you using less tokens than anyone else? You must be more productive or else…”

Plutonium sledgehammer sounds fucking awesome though
Pretty effective because of its high density, too. It’s a shame it’s brittle and would give you heavy metal poisoning.
🤘
As ways to die go that also sounds pretty rad
Oh, that would be rad alright

People probably say that about asbestos too.
And they’d be right
Of course, it still has uses. Just not in home insulation.

If the tool don’t work then don’t use it. I wouldn’t try to unscrew something with chopsticks
