> These types of surveys are pretty much useless. Just go by people's revealed preferences. They're using the technology. They don't have to. I'm sure most teachers and schools would prefer them not to. > Why do they have to use it? Have standards gotten higher in schools such that they will be left behind if they don't? Is there peer pressure to use it? Is there some social aspect I'm unaware of? Did you not read the article or not read it carefully? Try again, your comment shows a massive lack of understanding and little else.

Yes I did read it. Here are the relevant sections: > Many respondents did acknowledge that A.I. might make them more efficient in school and the workplace, he said. But they were concerned about how the technology would affect their creativity and critical thinking skills. So it's hurting their creativity and critical thinking skills. I wonder if they the existence of cars are hurting their ability to stay in shape. Revealed preferences from here: > In the study, about half of young people reported using A.I. on either a daily or weekly basis, similar to the previous year. Just under 20 percent said they did not use A.I. The rest of the article is mostly anecdotes or vague notions about social skills. Why don't you contribute to the conversation instead of just telling me I don't understand the issue

  I don't think you understood it, because you seemed to read past the key findings to make some tired, tired points about "revealed preferences." > The percentage of respondents ages 14 to 29 who said they felt hopeful about A.I. declined sharply since last year, down to 18 percent from 27. Young adults’ excitement about artificial intelligence dropped, too, and nearly a third of respondents indicated that the technology made them feel angry.

A young adult can totally abstain from AI and be negatively affected by all of that. And those are the kinds of things that could make people angry at the technology.

    Why did AI make them feel angry? Or was that beyond the scope of reporting? Seems like a pretty basic thing to ask. > A young adult can totally abstain from AI and be negatively affected by all of that. And those are the kinds of things that could make people angry at the technology. How would a young be negatively affected by abstinence from AI? Why is this implied? Give me a probable explanation for this. The article does not, and neither do any comments here.

        You’re being ridiculously rude instead of just answering the question.

        There's asking a question, and then's (possibly bad-faith) demands for hand-holding. The answer to question "Why did AI make them feel angry?" should have been obvious before it was asked (given what I quoted), to anyone with two brain cells and a basic amount of empathy. The other question was little more than evidence of a failure of reading comprehension.
