If chainsaws, plasma cutters, industrial lathes, hydraulic presses, angle grinders, acetylene torches, high-voltage switchgear, forklifts, tower cranes, liquid nitrogen dewars, industrial centrifuges, laser cutting systems, pneumatic nail guns, wood chippers, arc furnaces, motorcycles, wall outlets, natural gas stoves, pressure cookers, ladders, automobiles, table saws, propane tanks, swimming pools, garbage disposals, mandoline slicers, deep fryers, space heaters, extension cords, bleach/cleaning chemicals, prescription medications, kitchen knives, power drills, roof access, bathtubs, staircases, bicycles, and trampolines are that unsafe… why use them?

If all those things suddenly appeared for the first time on a Tuesday afternoon, like to many people how LLMs did, then there will be a lot of missing fingers before we figure out what kind of protections we need in place. Don’t get me wrong, the industry is overhyping it to the masses and using the wrong words while doing so, like calling an arc welder “warmth at the push of a button”, but it’s still useful for the right situation and with the right protective gear.
