From Futurism.:

Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, discusses the biggest misconception about AI, whether it is a “creature” or “tool.” Altman views AI as a tool that can enhance human capabilities, like a personal computer, rather than an autonomous entity. However, AI applications like ChatGPT have a “creature” feel, blurring the lines between tool and creature.

Altman’s vision for OpenAI’s tech leans more towards AI being a tool rather than a creature, despite previous predictions of AI replacing human jobs.

The debate over AI being viewed as a tool or creature continues as technology advances and evolves.
