it is not a tool.

>It doesn’t work well for most things: “A car is just a tool, it matters how you drive it.

It does work. Cars still exist today. Society didn't decide to go back to horses.

No one claimed anything close to this statement.

Tools may not be neutral. But tools are inevitable. They are a solver to people's problems.

> we can simply ask for art and it materializes before us. There is no struggle at all involved, thus the terrible labor of being an artist is removed!

Do not confuse the simplicity of early tools with there being no struggle to use something. The most efficient way to convey the exact vision of an artist is not purely a prompt.
