    All the things you listed are tools … ai is an automaton. A human gives it an instruction and it performs a process fully independent of human action.

    Computers are tools in exactly the same way. A person isn’t moving data from one memory location to another. That’s automated by the processor.

    You could say the same about a table saw: a human isn’t separating sequences of molecules with their hands, it’s automated by a machine.

    AI is not different from the above tools.

    My argument isn’t “bad faith” just because you disagree with it; your lack of understanding is not sufficient to disprove the assertion. Come prepared, or don’t come.

      So you’re telling me that you have a table saw that can stand up, walk to the wood pile, grab a plank, measure to size, line it up, and push it over the blade if you say “I need a two foot 2x4”? Because that is the level of automaton that we’re talking about with ai. The human makes a request, the bot does all the work.

      But nevermind, I just looked into your comment history and you obviously don’t have the mental faculties for an intelligent conversation on this subject. Have a nice life, I’m out.
