The majority of U.S. adults don't believe the benefits of artificial intelligence outweigh the risks, according to a new Mitre-Harris Poll released Tuesday.

Most of the U.S. adults also don't understand what AI is in the slightest. What do the opinions of people who are not in the slightest educated on the matter affect lol.

You don’t have to understand how an atomic bomb works to know it’s dangerous

I'm over here asking chatGPT for help with a pandas dataframe and loving every minute of it. At what point am I going to feel the effects of nuclear warfare?

[–] walrusintraining 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m confused how this is relevant. Just pointing out this is a bad take, not saying nukes are the same as AI. chatGPT isn’t the only AI out there btw. For example NYC just allowed the police to use AI to profile potential criminals… you think that’s a good thing?

[–] Jerkface -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sounds like NYC police are the problem in that scenario.

Yeah sure “guns don’t kill people, people kill people” is an outrageous take.

[–] Jerkface -1 points 1 year ago

The take is "let's not forget to hold people accountable for the shitty things they do." AI is not a killing machine. Guns aren't particularly productive.
