Stated preferences vs revealed preferences. People say they don't like it but they still use it.
- Silamoth 4mo agoDo they? And if so, by choice? I don’t like “AI”, and I don’t use it. I read lots of stories where people are forced to use it at work but don’t use it otherwise. Do you know of people who don’t think “AI” will have a positive impact on society but still choose to use it?
- shric 4mo ago> Do you know of people who don’t think “AI” will have a positive impact on society but still choose to use it? Yes. Per your previous statement, those people who are “forced” to use it at work. While it might be a requirement of their job, what job they do is usually a choice.
- ceejayoz 4mo agoThat's a false dichotomy; I prefer kayaking over work, but I still have to work. We've all seen stories about performance evaluations that include "how much AI are you using?" We've all seen Microsoft shove it into the OS and even the physical keyboard. We've all had the little suggestions pop up in Gmail.
- satvikpendem 4mo agoChatGPT has a billion users and it's estimated most are consumers not enterprise users. It's about 40 million paid consumer vs 9 million enterprise users. Once they file their S-1 we'll see exact figures.
- simsla 4mo agoHow does a billion break down into 49 million? I'm assuming you mean 400 and 90 million?
- ceejayoz 4mo agoI think they mean the vast majority are using the free version to do silly shit.
- satvikpendem 4mo agoFree vs paid users.
- fluoridation 4mo agoI think people don't like it being shoved in their faces and crammed down every hole. No one needs a Copilot key on their keyboard, or an AI summary in prime screen real estate of a Google search. These things (EDIT: by which I mean LLMs) are useful, but they're not that useful. They're not so useful that they should suffuse through every part of every piece of software.
- asdga1245 4mo ago> No one needs a Copilot key on their keyboard [...] You mean the thing that replaced the right Ctrl key on new laptops? Microsoft needs to leave my modifiers alone, dammit! Come to think of it, bringing back "Hyper" (both left and right) could be cool.
- mitthrowaway2 4mo agoPresent me with the option to ban generative AI worldwide, and I will show you what my revealed preference is.
- watwut 4mo agoPeople say it will have negative impact on society. That does not mean they think they can avoid using it in work. That does not have to imply they will jump hoops to avoid it in google search. This has absolutely nothing with stated vs revealed preference.
- apparent 4mo agoIf you're going to lose your job if you don't use it, you may use it (but still wish you lived in a world where AI does not exist).
- nunez 4mo agoOr maybe people are forced to use it whether they like it or not? Come on.
