This trust survey doesn't really make sense given the fast-moving pace of AI development.
There was no OpenAI and LLM proliferation five years ago, so at best this survey is only talking about very surface level generic sentiment regarding unspecified/undefined AI.
- prometheus76 3y agoIt's a survey of perception, not of performance or functionality, so it's still a very relevant change.
- nonrandomstring 3y agoThere's an effects lag with all these things. I don't think people have actually experienced the functionality in any meaningful way yet, only the "narrative" and bluster. Personally I've bumped into almost zero real-world encounters with "AI" except maybe a call waiting system and making some funky images for our blog. When significant numbers of people do encounter AI it's going to be diametric and possibly cause a deeper split in society. There will be the true believers and devotees who say "AI saved my life!". And it will be ruinous for many too. Which "truth" or whose voice gets heard will be a battle of perceptions, and likely AI will play a part in this too. It's possible the giant tech companies will rue they day they ever heard the words "neural network" or "transformer model".
