[Openid-aiim-usecases] [Openid-aiim] Interesting read for AI use cases - Steven C. Webster on moltbook.com

[Shermaine Nedd - QT3BD]

Thank you for sharing Vlad!

I have long said, AI (agents, LLms, etc.) are not "Tools"; to think so
lulls people into a false sense of understanding; and that can be
dangerous. Lots to discuss here.
