There are tools that evolve, like a hammer and than get a better hammer.
And then there are transformative tools that upset things altogether.

The internal combustion engine had a farmer think: "How about getting a tractor instead of these horses and manual labour".

Using the internet to translate something from a language you did now know, instead of buying a dictionary or hire a professional translator. Let alone acquiring knowledge buying an encyclopedia or visit a library.

A fashion company that for it's next catalogue is not going to engage with a casting company for models, hire a photo studio, getting a photographer, someone for lighting and make-up. But instead have somehow use a computer to roll-out all the images they want.

You cannot stop it, because it's about increasing productivity. An eternal quest since the beginning of man kind.
