These tools are marketed as replacing lots of jobs that are a hell of a lot more complex than a simple board game.

There isn't really a single sliding scale of "complexity" when it comes to certain tasks.

Given the appropriate input, a calculator can divide two numbers. But it can't count the number of R's in the word "strawberry".

Meanwhile, a script that could count the number of instances of a letter in a word could count those R's, but it couldn't divide any two numbers.

Similarly, we didn't complain that a typewriter couldn't put pepperoni slices onto a pizza.
