Most tools do have obvious uses, like screwdrivers.

Well that’s ridiculous, there are tons of tools that require months of training to use properly. You may have a general idea what a tool is supposed to do, but actually doing it is different.
I couldn’t hand you an electricians toolkit and tell you to rewire a house. And if I wanted you to change the breaks on a car, but I gave you a surgeon’s kit you would never be able to do it.
Tools have specific use cases, and you need to know when and how to use them to be effective. One of my biggest gripes about AI is this idea that it will provide. Nope it is 100% reliant on human knowledge, and I agree with the poster above processing specific datasets based on your specific instructions is about the only good use among the general public.
However specifically trained models have been assisting in some cool stuff. Archaeologists are using AI tools to “unravel” carbonized scrolls from Pompeii. A human alone could not do this. An public facing AI/LLM models could not do this. But a educated human training the model and overseeing it’s functions can. That’s tools use right there
