“A fool with a tool is still a fool.”

My understanding

I don’t know who said that, but this quote carries a powerful message. It reminds me that tools, no matter how advanced, don’t replace knowledge or skill.

You can have the best technology or resources, but if you don’t know how to use them wisely, they’re useless. Mastery comes from understanding, not just having the tools.

Take artificial intelligence (AI), for example. It’s a powerful tool, but if you don’t understand how to use it properly, it’s just another piece of technology. I’m using AI right now, but I approach it with care, knowing that it’s not the tool itself that holds the power—it’s how I apply it that makes the difference.
