If "AI" were a mere tool and not a political narrative you wouldn't need to headline "X used AI to do Y" all the time. Anything anyone does while "AI" is involved must reify "AI"'s power and relevance.
Because it's not "just a tool", it's a bigger project of disenfranchisement some willingly embrace.

...yes, it is a tool of control. A dumb populace that will believe a machine is an easy to control populace. Make no mistake, they want us to be dumb.
Resist by refusing to use it.
