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.

I personally believe that in an AGI world, the rich will mistreat the former workers, that might work for a while but at some point, not only are the people fed up of the abuse but the "geniuses" who created their position of power are gone and the children or children's children will have the wealth and power. The rest of the world will realise that there is no merit to either of there position. And the blood of millions will soak the earth and if we are lucky, AGI survives and serves the collective well. If we aren't... oh well...

Good thing that we aren't there.

Elysium.

That movie is our future.

The concern I have with AGI is that if it is mishandled and doesn't end up aligned to human interests it can cause a huge pile of problems.

My issue is similar but I would say,

We are lucky if an agi actually align with our interests, or even the creator's interests.

Yeah with the layers of obscurity I don't see how anyone could shape an AGI and be sure it was aligned to their, or anyone's, interests. Right now with the current AI it's pretty clearly not completely under control and from what I understand of the way they're trained there's no way of avoiding the obfuscation of what you're actually telling it to do. A strong ai will just as easily learn to lie about being aligned than it will be aligned.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, which is why I said, we are lucky.
