AI isn’t a “tool” - it’s a set of subroutines built on the stolen labor and property of others using exploitative amounts of energy and resources to confidently make up something that’s wrong.
That’s a tool in the same way a hammer is a tool - if you stole it from your neighbor, it was coin-operated and gas-powered, and it often turned into a screwdriver or a halibut midswing and then obsequiously apologized.
GIGO was true pre-GenAI, but is no longer. You can take good data, train a model on it with the greatest care, do a well-structured prompt, and still get garbage out. Honestly, a lot of boomers and older GenX embrace GenAI because they still think GIGO applies without realizing what a broken assumption that is.
There are no coding capabilities without the training data.
