AI is a tool. Just like any tool it can be used for constructive or destructive purposes.

LLMs are answering machines that are being promoted as hammers while saying everything is a nail.

Image generation software is a fancy copy machine being sold as a replacement for artists.

If they were being promoted as tools and not shoved down our throats constantly they wouldn't get this kind of pushback.
