A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

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.

Here AI seems to be only the LLM & Image generators, seems people don't know about how/what AI is doing behind the scenes in science etc. where it usually outperforms older types of computations.

This is about AI in our daily lives, which naturally precludes AI behind the scenes.

Lot of it is in our daily lives though, like maps showing the fastest route etc etc etc

Okay are you using "AI" to mean "literally all algorithms and automation"?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Not at all. I have worked with AI like Tensorflow and Keras, I do not supposed anyone else have, so my example was maybe too simple.

AI is used in loads of things like dynamic loads on complex systems, or just how you can build a sturdier car with less material. Is that a better example?
