The people who make the bulldozer don't market it as "intelligent."

And yes, I also blame the people getting on that bulldozer, bulldozing like there's no tomorrow. But mainly I blame the first two groups.

That metaphor has been stretched about as far as I can take it, but it's the tools and people getting access to tools they've not been trained on to do tasks they have no prior experience with. As someone who just laid laminate flooring myself for the first time, I'm keenly aware of both having the right tool for the job and the knowledge of how to use it and knowledge of how to do the task in general affects the end product. The mistakes I made are my own, not the cause of the incorrect tools I used at times.

Which is what your parent comment is doing. They didn’t say AI was to blame, they said this wouldn’t have happened without it. It’s likely your fault if you blow up your hands with a firecracker, but it’s also true that it wouldn’t have happened if firecrackers weren’t a thing.

> Do we blame the bulldozer if it bulldozes the wrong thing?

That’s such a tired analogy. By this point it’s honestly hard to believe it is made in good faith.

There isn’t a massive industry with tendrils in every facet of society trying to sell you on autonomous bulldozers that do the bulldozing for you without interaction, is there? Caterpillar is working on autonomous bulldozers, but even those aren’t targeted and advertised at every household as something you have to use.
