Most Americans don’t trust AI — or the people in charge of it

  The most fascinating thing I heard a while ago was that like 60% of readers will stop reading a text if they suspect or discover it’s written by AI.

    At the current state of things, AI just feels like being forced on people. There isn't much transparency and a lot happens without people's consent. Training data is taken without consent, and they display AI-written text, often riddled with msinformation to me withoit being upfront. I also stop reading most of the times, unless there is a comment section beneath for me to complain 😉

      My feeling is that it’s an AI bubble right now. The value seems apparent and money is being trucked in. But the uptake is lagging. Humans don’t need a piece of software that can write an essay for them. I want an AI that can find this obscure comic I read 10 years ago. That can order tickets for me. Find me the cheapest flights/connections to get from A to B. Summarize a text for me. My feeling is that it’s generative features are the least important.

      It’s very telling that smart speakers are also in a very different place now. They were supposed to make shopping easier. That was how they were going to make money. But people just used them for music, asking for the weather and setting timers.

      The training data thing is so frustrating.

      Every service just changed their terms of service to allow it and nobody got in trouble.

    Same, tbh.

  Ummm, maybe it’s because they’re asking us to train the software that’s going to take our moderate pay desk and service jobs so we can all work in factories for minimum wage?

  Just a thought.

    If a robot / LLM can do you your job they probably should. Factory jobs should be the first to go - that’s not a place for humans.

      Fat chance. Desk jobs don’t require additional hardware. They’ll be the first to go. This is corporate America we’re talking about. Cost/benefit analysis reigns supreme. Health and safety is only as much of a concern as regulations require, which will only get more lax with Zeldin in office.

  Uh. What do they say to an AI shill, rewriting their social system with AI code? Or a president writing the countries economic strategy with AI? I also believe that's going to have... consequences...
