@maaikees@sw-development-is.social I feel that those who call AI a tool are using it purely as justification for their own use of it @larsmb@mastodon.online

@andycarolan@social.lol @maaikees@sw-development-is.social To be fair, my post _didn't_ refer to "AI" (which is a very broad term) as such. Though I don't fully understand why that plethora of algorithms wouldn't meet the definition of a non-material tool. (Tools aren't neutral, tools can be weapons, tools can be unethically sourced, tools can displace labor, tools can be of varying levels of accuracy ... i.e., calling it a tool diminishes none of the problems.) Would you be willing to elaborate?
