New Poll Finds That Americans Loathe AI (futurism.com)

A new poll by the Pew Research Center has found that Americans are getting extremely fed up with artificial intelligence in their daily lives.

A whopping 53 percent of just over 5,000 US adults polled in June think that AI will "worsen people’s ability to think creatively." Fifty percent say AI will deteriorate our ability to form meaningful relationships, while only five percent believe the reverse.

While 29 percent of respondents said they believe AI will make people better problem-solvers, 38 percent said it could worsen our ability to solve problems.

The poll highlights a growing distrust and disillusionment with AI. Average Americans are concerned about how AI tools could stifle human creativity, as the industry continues to celebrate the automation of human labor as a cost-cutting measure.

Or they haven't realized increased perceived productivity is a bad thing. The goalpost is always moving for demanded worker productivity. Oh the invention of the computer can increase productivity by 100 times? No, you're not getting a less work utopia, instead, guess how much productivity you're now expected to produce? Oh the invention of the internet can increase productivity by 1000 times? Oh shoot, guess ya gotta get back to work to make those gains!!!

You can compare productivity to wage gains since the 80s. It's quite bleak.

It's just like Adam Blumpied always used to say.....

BACK TO WORK, DICKHEAD!

Says you. I just got back from a trip where I watched a lady hand key 100 workers hand written time cards into a computer system. I’m sure that person would be much more content if she wasn’t sitting in a cave all day slowly giving herself carpal tunnel.

The better way would be to leverage technology so workers could scan themselves in, then train the admin to review for anomalies.

You're both right because you're talking about completely different things.

No, we must return to the traditional system: old-timey mechanical punch card systems - literally punch in, punch out.

I have this wonderful image of people working at a software company being forced, for some stupid reason, to use an actual mechanical punchclock system.
