Comment on Most U.S. adults don't believe benefits of AI outweigh the risks, new survey finds
walrusintraining@lemmy.world 9 months agoI don’t need to know the ins and outs of how the nazi regime operated to know it was bad for humanity. I don’t need to know how a vaccine works to know it’s probably good for me to get. I don’t need to know the ins and outs of personal data collection and exploitation to know it’s probably not good for society. There are lots of examples.
I can certainly give that “you” don’t need to know but there are a lot of differing opinions on even the things you’re talking about inside of the people that are in this very community.
I would say that the Royal we need to know because there are a lot of opinions on facts that don’t line up with actual facts for a lot of people. Sure, not you, not me but a hell of a lot of people.
I don’t disagree that people are stupid, but the majority of people got/supported the vaccine. Majority is sometimes a good indicator, that’s how democracy works. Again, it’s not perfect, but it’s not useless either.

okay, I'll concede, my scope also was pretty limited. I still stand by not trusting the public with deciding what's the best use of AI is, when most people think it's anything more than statistics supercharged in its implementation.
