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.

      I want to but they pay far above average wage for CS in my country and it’s fully remote 😅. I’ve also been there long enough that I know pretty much my whole org’s codebase and i really don’t want to start fresh again. Golden handcuffs I guess

        Fair enough. In that case I guess maybe you could automate your way around it. Run it in the background generating nonsense every so often.
