    Stop saying that AI is just a tool and it only matters how it is used

    I’m tired of this phrase and this simple way of thinking about tools. This blog post is a wandering train of thought on the topic of what tools are and why it matters to be even slightly more mature in how we think about them.

    > Believing that AI is “just a tool” is naive at best and dismissive at worst because nothing about tools is “just” anything.

        @baldur An axe is just a tool as long as you don't watch The Shining.
        A hammer is just a tool as long as Maxwell is not wielding it.
