LLMs are more like employees than tools. Obviously we wouldn't want a human blindly doing anything that a person in crisis walks in the door and asks for.

Models are being deployed recklessly with not even a fraction of enough oversight, and people are suffering harm and sometimes death because of it.

…or maybe it is a tool because it’s actually a complex Excel sheet and literally is a tool. If you and everyone else stopped thinking about it like it’s a human then we wouldn’t be having this problem. You’re not actually “super awesome” because “Furby said so” and it didn’t contribute to egomania because people understood that it’s not sentient. Furby is a toy, Claude is a tool, stop fucking up my hammer by making it produce an impact statement before every swing.
