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.
Nothing really new here. I hated homework when I was a kid, too, and I still think it’s pointless. More work after eight hours of work, sure…
Part of the problem is that most homework is an inflexible extension of class work and is generally pretty shit. My highschool got rid of homework and just cut down PE our grades went up. Point is the best homework is the open ended shit where you basically let the students go nuts, best bit of homework I ever did was a presentation style book report. Mine was probably the most sane compared to the rest, I just did a report on Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy which was more a synopsis/abridged retelling. For comparison one of my friends rolled in with a cork board that was basically a mix of Winston is an idiot and big brother is making shit up because 1984 melted his brain, another guy read some of Kafkas work his presentation was a series of shit posts.
