Americans are worried about using AI more in daily life, seeing harm to human creativity and relationships. But they’re open to AI use in weather forecasting, medicine and other data-heavy tasks.
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.
