I almost think at this point anyone attempting to make this absurd connection is a paid shill.

No AI it is not like calculators, looms, engines, or any other advancement.

If AI continues to improve we will need a complete reset of how human society works. That will not happen without mountains of bodies. There are 2 main ways civilization re-balances when work/worker ratio becomes untenable. War or famine. Hope you and you loved ones are on the lucky side.

The idea was to get insights into the difference that I may not have thought about.
Cunningham's Law?

Ok. Aside from the obvious things like , calculators can't be co-opted for undermining and exploiting their users? Calculators can't be primed with false information for manipulating its users? Calculators just offload some longform math, and lets be real a huge percent of people barely touched a calculator after school. AI is basically glued to 70% of the populations hand.

Even at its current level AI is diminishing the value of being someone knowledgeable.

At the core computers are a power consolidation machine. AI streamlines boring/slow aspects of consolidating that power to those that control the AI.
