Re: kitchen appliance analogies, I stand by my "AI is a dishwasher" analogy.

It's annoying that the dishes still have some pooled water in them when the cycle finishes; it doesn't always get everything perfectly clean; I have to know not to put the knives or the wooden stuff or anything fancy in it. But in spite of all of that, I use it every day, it's a huge productivity boost, and I'd hate to be without it.

And other people choose to wash dishes by hand and they're fine with it and not significantly less productive. The use of a dishwasher wasn't forced on everyone.

I get where you're coming from but dishwasher is definitely a "could live just fine without."

Fridge OTOH, not so much.
