Source? And I suppose that depends on whether I die first from not having access to healthcare after AI takes my job.

You're right, but that doesn't mean opinions will evolve towards viewing the technology more positively. With AI, it's increasingly the opposite.

We have a higher chance of the world ending than getting UBI in America. This is a country that can't even get basic universal healthcare going. Even if we did somehow get UBI, with who's controlling the country, there's almo

It's funny seeing this kind of comment get made over and over. I don't think those regurgitating this line realize that getting "left behind" (whatever that even actually means) is appealing when the direction the future

If the only consequence is that they're not rewarded, then it seems like it's very fair to categorize it as "no consequences". Even if you categorize missing out on some bonus or something as a consequence, it pales in c

> People seem to struggle to wrap their head around the fact that privacy laws don't prevent people from recording them in public. Maybe this needs to be restricted in some capacity, then.

I agree with your point in general, but doesn't that disclaimer apply to any kind of supplement? As far as I know that sort of thing has been allowed for quite some time. For whatever reason the FDA allows for an almost completely unre

What a dream. If we could also somehow get rid of social media at the same time (or at least algorithmic recommendations and other predatory practices), the world would be a significantly better place.

It also depends on the person and the model of Pros, strangely enough. The first generation stayed in my ears perfectly, but the second generation does not.

My opinions get downvoted all the time. I've seen my own comments fluctuate in real time. Such is the world of online discussion boards. > You, yourself, are ganging up on commenter and painting people with broad strokes. No need to

People disagreeing with you and discussing something does not mean dissenting opinions aren't allowed. If anything, it proves the opposite.

The AI companies are run by billionaires and now trillionaires that publicly brag about getting rid of artists and creating a permanent underclass. The only people actually profiting off of this are either stakeholders in those companies an

It allows them to dismiss anyone who doesn't buy into what they're selling without any actual effort and maintain a superiority complex at the same time. A common tactic these days for all sorts of things - after all, they're

That's the problem with conflating LLMs and image/video generation - they're all lumped into the same bucket, even when they shouldn't. I mean the idea of AI (or at least what these companies are calling AI) is fundament

Good write up, and I think it accurately sums up many people's feelings about AI. One thing I would disagree with is the idea of AI getting a do over. Even if they somehow managed to do that, the idea of AI is fundamentally tainted for

I think you're underestimating how much laundry there is for families. But in general, it's one of the tedious things that people want automation to handle. They may not buy something just for folding laundry, but if it can do oth

This comment is a fantastic example of AI-proponents' hubris, delusion, and fundamental lack of understanding of humanity these days. Great work.

I strongly disagree. Tedious yet necessary and ultimately unending tasks are exactly what the average person wants from automation.

It's pretty telling that only 16% have a positive view on it, then. If even Trump has more than twice as high approval than your product, you've royally fucked up.

Does not at all surprise me that people don't think losing their livelihoods would have a positive impact. Maybe AI companies should stop bragging about trying to do that if they're concerned about people hating them.

If anything, it should continue and apply to anyone using AI.
