AI is much more available to people than motors of any kind. Long-press your Android phone's power button: There's Gemini.

Vacuum cleaners, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, automobiles of all shapes and sizes (private and shared), power tools are all examples of electric motors that you own and can do useful things with.

What electric motors do is give you power over your environment.

You don't own Gemini. You are allowed to use Gemini as long as your economic value to Google exceeds the cost of the electricity to run it.

With Gemini, Google has power over you.
