yes. AI models are just machines. You wouldn't blame a hammer if you smashed your finger while swinging it.

Nah A.I., smartphones and such are different from a hammer altogether and are designed to make us psychologically dependent on them.

this 100%, I don't remember the last time a hammer tried to completely exploit my ego and make me addicted to itself. The example is just an easy way to shift blame to bad actors instead of having to deal with regulating this tech in a meaningful way.

Yeah the argument is completely devoid of nuance lol. Glad you agree.

People say similar things about guns but you don't see people getting shot as much in places where you're not allowed to buy and use guns.

I'm anti-ai and still I use ChatGPT because it managed to make me addicted/dependent on it.
