A tool is a tool.

That is a miopic view. Sure a tool is a tool, if I take a gun and use it to save someone from getting mugged = good if I use it to mug someone = bad

But regardless of the circumstance of use, we can all agree that a gun's only utility is to destroy a living organism.

You know, I know, everyone here knows, AI will only be used to generate as much profit as possible in the shortest amount of time, regardless of the harm it causes. And right now, the big promise of AI is that it will replace costly human employees, that's it, that's all.

Fortunately, it is really bad and unlikely to achieve this goal
