    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 tool the same way a sledgehammer made out of plutonium is a tool.

      Your comment is a sweeping statement that is thought terminating itself.

      No sane person should trust it without serious reservations just because it fits the purpose

      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.
