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.

    My issue is similar but I would say,

    We are lucky if an agi actually align with our interests, or even the creator’s interests.

      Yeah with the layers of obscurity I don’t see how anyone could shape an AGI and be sure it was aligned to their, or anyone’s, interests. Right now with the current AI it’s pretty clearly not completely under control and from what I understand of the way they’re trained there’s no way of avoiding the obfuscation of what you’re actually telling it to do. A strong ai will just as easily learn to lie about being aligned than it will be aligned.
