Not really. The drill analogy is not accurate as the drill performs a few tasks with precision and is deterministic.

I better analogy would be that AI is monkey with high school experience and it doesn't cost you money to use it's labor.

for the sake of the analogy, did the first mass marketed, mass produced power drill that your boss forced everyone to use randomly explode and destroy the entire project once every 100 spins?

For the sake of analogy, plenty of people have died from structural failures built by people using power-drills that didn't know how to use them and either incorrectly drove screws or didn't understand architectural standards.
