    The reality of the matter “its just a tool” is both literally just factual it IS the reality.

    No it’s not. The only input you have with an AI is telling it to do something, which is less like a hammer and more like an employee. AI is not, in any way, a tool.

    I’m not going to insult your intelligence by saying you don’t already know this. I’m not going to insult your morality by saying you do already know this. I’m just going to leave.

      Thats a tool… The carrying out of anothers design IS one of the definitions of a tool. Employees ARE tools. Its a horridly demeaning definition yes, but it IS one of the definitions. It’s where the insultive form of the word comes from for heaven sake.

      They are literally tools. Even if you go by the more generic definition of just something that is used to perform an operation or action. Its still a tool.

      If you want to go by ONLY the very strictest definition and ignore all secondary ones. Then computers as a whole arn’t tools full stop. Only an object that is directly used to multiply the force of a manual labor task is a tool or the cutting edge of said objects are tools.

      So either its a tool, or we are being pedantic idiots picking and choosing cause our fee fees are hurt and we want to play stupid word games. There is no inbetween here. So pick your side. Are computers tools? Or are we playing stupid word games.

        No, a tool is a thing someone uses to carry out their design by themself. An AI does it for you without any input after the initial instruction. They are not tools any more than an employee is.

        You’re either an idiot or a liar. I’ll let you decide which, but as I said before, I am done with you. I’m sure, as someone who assumes and mocks someone else’s feelings, you’ll take this with grace and move on from a lost cause.
