Yes, AI is a tool. So are guns. So are nukes. Many tools are easy to be misused. Most tools are inherently dangerous.

Anthropomorphizing LLMs, on the other hand, has a multitude of clearly evident problems arising from it. Or do you focus on the “just” part of the statement? That I very much agree with. Genuinely asking for understanding, not a native speaker.
