Wish I could access the study. Curious to learn more.
When was this conducted? Relatively recently, after the commercial boom of LLMs, or prior, when AI was less front and center in the minds of an average consumer?
What are the characteristics of the study participants? Career choices or technical knowledge would be most interesting to pick apart as it relates to findings.
Anecdote Corner:
Prior to the LLM boom and OpenAI, I was real bearish on companies throwing about "AI capabilities," because it was, from my few decades of engineering experience, just marketing mumbo jumbo. I'm more bullish on the direction and viability of "AI" these days, and I'm really excited to see what the future holds, but I'm even more skeptical of "AI" as a product capability, for a few reasons:
1. I honestly don't care if something is powered by AI or not. Solve my problem, don't attempt to distract me with "AI" as a selling point.
2. I've seen what's capable with contemporary LLMs - it's awesome, but as many posts here on HN have shown, the technology is far from perfect. I'm being patient.
