There is a number of College Graduate videos online with the speaker discussing (pandering) about AI and its changes on the world, only to get boo'd. The sentiment is even worse among the younger generations.

Do we need a poll for this? You'd need to be living under a rock or only listening to AI sycophants to believe the average person is enjoying the new AI world. I mean, lets be real, the way LLMs have been unleashed on the world has not been an overall positive. Don't misconstrue that to be me saying LLMs and AI is useless though, I am not! Can AI be an overall positive one day? Absolutely yes; I think its a guarantee really. Is AI useful right now? Yep. What I'm saying is the negative now outweighs the positive now because of how its being used, narratives and excuses around it.

The problem is that AI is mostly yielded by the Silicon Valley caste that is as popular as bankers in 2008. People are sick of tech companies that are acting as parasitic as possible.
