AI is a too widely used term.

It's not the same a self-aware AI entity than a dumb AI assited tool.

It's the same with the joke that AI's are taking the jobs that we want to do instead of the ones that nobody wants. JFC, there is no humanoid robot replacing manual labor, just trained AI software/tools/APIs that run on computers and perform some specific and somewhat complex tasks.

Thanks man, that's a real kindness, belaying my worries. Just to relieve your stress, I wasn't being serious. I just find it funny in a dark humour, but the good kind, kinda way. You're good people.
