Well, sure. But the same can be said about guns. Give the mass shooter a 6-shooter revolver and he'll kill a few kids. But give 'em an AR-15 and he'll kill a LOT of kids. Give a moron a copy of WordStar and a line printer and he can try to flood the zone. But he'll fail. Give him access to billion dollar data centers running billion parameter AIs and he won't fail.
