You are a tool. You're a human resource, from the perspective of the organization. That pushes buttons on bunch of other tools. That's why you compare it.

Edit: I don't mean tool as a perjoritive.

I think the irony is that the perception of being called a tool as an insult, is exactly your meaning of it.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted. Perhaps because people don't like the sentiment. But its true, people are hired as tools to write programs.

Both people and AI make mistakes. Perhaps the AI makes more, a lot more, but its so fast, and works around the clock, and has no ego, there is a chance that the benefits outweigh the costs.
