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.

    It’s helpful in learning so long as you get one that you can reign in to only rely on only the official documentation of what you are learning. But then there’s allllll the downsides of running that power hungry system.

        Right, which begs the question: why wouldn’t I just fucking search for what I want to know? Especially becauseI know for a fact that won’t result in me having to sift through completely fabricated bullshit.

          Because if you do that now, you’ll end up on a a.i. made website with some fever dreams for images which hold no real facts and or truths. Only half facts jumbled together with half truths into incomprehensible sentences which feel like a random combination of words that seem to be endless and unmemorizeable.
