Yeah, AI is a general purpose technology, on a par with the introduction of the computer itself. Analogies to tools seems inappropriate.


My comment wasn't about the tool, it was how people are treating the new tool. Much as they would when they learn other new tools. They tend to have a preference and apply it where they maybe shouldn't. Do people really need to ask AI everything like simple math problems or what goes best with this dress? Is that really a good use for early generation, water hungry, huge datacenter AI?
