Even the internet held the promise of connecting people, and it was going that way until social media appeared; replacing real life connections.
AI doesn’t even connect you to anyone, not technically nor superficially.
Americans are pessimistic about many if not most things due to the political problems and manipulation by enemies through (social) media.
This goes for more people/populations than just Americans.
Americans know that our neighbors are other Americans. Those Americans were educated in our public school system and already weren’t inquisitive or imaginative to add to the very little they managed to glean from their formal schooling. Now you hand them a thing and tell them it can do creative things for them (Americans are lazy creatures) or handle important things that they just can’t be bothered with, or tells them that they are completely correct about something they very aren’t, and they believe it because they want to.
It’s difficult to be optimistic when you know what you’re surrounded by. LLMs are a bad technology for most of their current applications.
Not much if I have to pay for it. But if companies pay for it, good luck getting your money back because we’re broke.
The problem here is that the term “AI” is used in many punning ways. What most people think of these days when they hear “AI” is the LLMbeciles and other forms of degenerative AI that plague us. But the “AI” used in weather forecasting is not that technology.
The grifters at OpenAI and their ilk managed to hijack a term that was already pretty loose to begin with and with it tainted a lot of actually useful technologies.
Haven’t read yet but does it compare to other nationalities? I mean is it just Americans believing this?
