Stop saying that AI is just a tool and it only matters how it is used
Summary
A philosophical critique arguing that AI is more than a mere tool. The author uses Heideggerian concepts to claim tools shape our behavior and society, and argues that AI’s impact extends beyond user-level usage to environmental, economic, and ethical dimensions. The piece advocates for policy, guardrails, and a rethinking of how we design and deploy AI to preserve humanity and meaningful work.
