Woodworkers often will have a preference for their favorite tool. Once they become comfortable with that tool they will sometimes prefer to use it for things it wasn't designed. For me it was the band saw. When I needed to split a board, bandsaw. When I needed to cut a curve, bandsaw. Cut a horse figure? bandsaw!

I once saw a woodworking television show that seemed to do everything on the table saw. Rip, make frames for paintings, everything. It seemed the next step of every design was accomplished "over at the table saw".

Right now it seems that's what people are doing with AI. Need a bandsaw? use AI. Need a table saw? Use AI. Need to think of a solution of any kind, better consult AI.

Right before this trend I recall kids wanting to check YouTube first before doing anything. Now they ask AI.

There's an app for that, there's a website for that, there's a magazine for that, there's a phone number you can call, and so on and so on.

As with everything, I say this: do your own thinking and proceed with caution.

This too shall pass.
