I was buying 5 quarts of motor oil at AutoZone about 20 miles from Sedona Arizona.
The employee selling it to me was telling me how stupid or ignorant some customers could be.
At some point I mentioned using AI as a tool, and he started to give me push back on the idea.
People seem, whether in person or on Nostr, almost weirdly religious or ideological about AI.
Somebody in my comments got almost incredulous over me using Grok.
Others think AI is evil by nature.
I don't buy any of that garbage.
AI is an understandable tool, with certain causes and effects.
Like a wrench.
It has leverage. It has limits.
Some people will use it well to serve life.
Others won't.
But it's here to stay, and humanity will get used to it like every else.
Or, some won't.
Either way, the cat is out of the bag and no one can stop it.
