    I do agree. It’s a pretty shit tool because you can’t trust it, it makes mistakes, and you’re not in complete control of what it does.

    And yeah maybe it’s more like a service when you’re using it for ready-made stuff.

    I think it depends on use case and intent. Calling it a tool is perfectly valid in some cases. For others it acts more like a torment nexus.

    But can a torment nexus be used as a tool? Probably, but that’s supervillian shit lol
