    some tools are actually strictly bad to use, like nuclear bombs, landmines, or chemical weapons

      You’re just describing weapons made from tools.

        Weapons are tools. They are tools engineered for death.

            And some tools are bad to use. People generally don’t like death.

              Yes, those tools are called ‘weapons.’ Are you implying AI is a weapon?
