A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia

Except AI is a pipe wrench pretending to be a hammer.
True.
And I get where you're going, but pipe wrenches are still way too useful in too many situations. AI is a like a disc brake compressor hand tool, being sold as the solution to everything else.
When I mention how much I like it for compressing a disc brake, I feel like people look at me like I'm crazy for falling off the hype train.
Edit: And by people, I mean AI hype shill bots, probably.
Yes, but your disk brake compressor tool could also be a hammer.
