I wholeheartedly agree. It's the people that are the problem, not the technology. In the hands of people who understand it's utility and limitations, AI becomes an assistant you can't imagine life without. In the hands of people who aren't so intellectually curious, it helps them run into a brick wall much faster.
My former boss often shared the words of his father: "A fool with a tool...is still a fool!"
Even more true with AI.
