# the point in posting the article was to show that people always resist new tools out of fear
has mathematical ability been reduced by the introduction of calculators?
most certainly it has
i was basically saying that resistance to AI is a bit like those teachers
being resistant to the use of calculators

# So... Not even as good an argument as I gave you credit for. Okay.
You've reduced your argument to nothing. AI is nothing like a pocket calculator. See the environmental impacts of AI datacentre, the economic impact of hording GPUs, and the impact of the inevitable bursting of the AI bubble.

If there was a calculator bubble, history does not remember it on the same scale as tulips, railways, dot-coms or sub-primes.
