I'd like to comment on the common "AI is just a tool" thing: I'm a woodworker by training & that means a lot of machines - but almost every craftsperson knows how to do their job with hand tools, or "lesser" machines.

Similarly, a writer can write without a text editor - just as well, only slower.

If loss of a tool = loss of your skill & knowledge, then that tool isn't an asset, it's a liability. You're signing over your ability to do business to whoever sells & maintains that tool.

@jwcph I second this! 💪🏻 In my line of work I (as the IT-dude 😬 ) am implementing AI-tools in our company, because we in that sense then have "control" of what kind of tools the employees are using. But No, it is a false sense of control as we can not control which other AI-tools are in use and by that the whole landscape of AI is our contemporary WILD West, 🫣 🫣

@aj42 @jwcph As a lower level IT dude, I only wrote the user manual for one such internal thing, and felt much psychic pain while doing it. (The IT dude who actually got it running does seem to be on our side though, and I cannot imagine the psychic pain felt to get such things running.)
