Boy is that a terrible website. I tried to find a story and give up.

I am disappointed in how vague the classifications are for what people want. 'professional excellence ' anyone? I was expecting more concrete responses, but I guess since it's working with what we told it, generalities are prevalent in a write up. If I keep looking, perhaps at the quotes, I might find more concrete answers. And just keep scrolling, you can make it to the story eventually.

If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said "a faster horse" -- Henry Ford.

After reading some of the stories - just more of the "this is better than cancer cure, but also so dangerous we might all die" propaganda.

Consistent users of ~~product~~ AI find it favorable. Color me shocked. I'm much more curious about the results of 80k people who don't use AI regularly.

Anecdotally, the concern I hear from many is that the current positioning of AI as labor replacement doesn't benefit them at all. An expensive AI which simply takes your job or forces you to work harder is categorically worse for people's quality of life. What consumer benefits is ai driving? at least with industrial automation consumers benefited from new technologies, cheaper goods, and new job categories.
