    I’m not sure what you are trying to say. Are you talking about a segue or a segway? A leaver is much more useful than a Segway but they are both completely different things. Why are you comparing a machine to a leaver? Also, the Segway as a product wasn’t nearly as popular as the inventor hoped. Are you saying people who think AI will flop like the Segway did are wrong or are you saying that the Segway is some super tool and AI is not?

      I honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling, idk how you could even come to the conclusions you did with my response.

      1. AI isn’t going to replace us anytime soon. Data entry will be first, in the next 5-10 years most likely. When I say it’s a “lever” what I mean is that for people like myself who work in IT, AI tools have multiplied our efforts and allowed us to spend more time doing and less time researching how to do. Even when it’s wrong, it’s usually good enough to get me on the right track and save me time.

      2. The Segway analogy was intended to illustrate how the average person who doesn’t work on or around computers sees the invention. They think it’s the next Segway (as in, a useless item that is supposed to change everything but disappears in months) because they don’t have an actual use case for it and spend most of their time trying to make it write smut or whatever else they’re dicking around with.
