always fear the toolmaker more than the tool

AI isn’t a sentient force or an inevitable doom—it’s a tool, just like the first sharpened stone our ancestors crafted. The real danger isn’t AI itself but the people who wield it, shaping its use for progress or exploitation. While AI has the potential to revolutionize industries and improve lives, it also risks deepening inequalities and consolidating power in the wrong hands. The solution isn’t to fear AI but to understand and use it wisely—because if we don’t, others will, and not necessarily for the good of humanity.
