This is a good example of how a sentence without context can lead to confusion. Let’s look at the whole paragraph:

«In the age of technological advancement, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our daily lives and is revolutionizing industries across the board.

AI will only replace those who use it Sep 14

Sounds a bit like: 'You are what you eat'. So, I am doomed, because I only eat vegetables? Just to mention something. If so, its back to the steaks then.

Oh, I only see it now, its a poll question!

AI will replace certainly replace whoever punctuated that sentence, and it can't happen too soon!

Context, context, context. Sep 16

To answer that question, we'd need more context...
