A wheelchair is also a tool! A very efficient one too! People claim they've 2x'd their energy efficiency by not ever walking or standing, and they are much more happy now that they don't need to suffer the pain of walking! I'm thinking of amputating my feet just to make footoids seethe more!
A car is exactly what you describe, and even the fitness nuts use them.
It is actually a great example. Slobs use them just to avoid a 5 minute walk, even though walking is cheaper and faster. Reasonable people will take their into account their time, money, health and circumstances to choose whether to walk or to drive. And some crazies think cars are evil and will walk for hours and put themselves in danger instead of driving.
Same idea with AI. One one side, some people will turn off their brain and let the AI take control, on the other side, others will spend hours searching what a simple prompt can get them in seconds. Reasonable people are in the middle.
