> No surprise here, same can be true of IT. I remember a time before PCs and most work was done on Mainframes and paper w/file cabinets.
I understand your point but it lacks accuracy in that mainframes, paper and filing cabinets are deterministic tools. AI is neither deterministic nor a tool.
If AI isn’t either of those things, then what is it?

You keep repeating this in this thread, but as has been refuted elsewhere, this doesn't mean AI is not productive. A tool it definitely can be. Your handwriting is non deterministic, yet you could write reports with it.
