AI is a Tool

AI is neither good nor evil. It's a tool. It's a technology for us to use.
Oren Etzioni

It is important to understand that artificial intelligence (AI) in its current form is a tool. It may be able to produce some amazing things, but in the end, it is just a tool. It is just an algorithm that is being applied.

Knowing it is a tool puts you in the right mindset. You can then look at the tool and see what it can do for you.

For a carpenter, a nail gun is a tool. It basically does everything a hammer does except that it does it faster. It also can put nails in where it is much more difficult to put the nails in with a hammer.

For a carpenter, the nail gun results in carpentry tasks being completed faster. Faster means a carpenter can create things that are bigger than he was able to create before. It also means that carpenters that continued to use hammers were left behind.

The difference between not using AI and using AI is significantly greater than the difference between a hammer and a nail gun.

How will AI as a tool help you create more
