Umfrage: Die meisten Amerikaner glauben, dass KI eines Tages „die Menschheit zerstören“ wird | Eine neue Yahoo/YouGov-Umfrage kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass reale Menschen hinsichtlich der künstlichen Intelligenz – und ihrer möglichen Auswirkungen auf ihr Leben – viel pessimistischer sind als das Silicon Valley und die Wall Street.

It’s becoming very clear. AI only benefits one demographic.
People with too much money always want to own power and authority. AI in the wrong hands will just be another one of those things.
Has the author if this survey met „real people“? Most of them are doing good to get through the day without accidentally crapping their pants. It’s not surprising they’d be scared of something they don’t understand.

Yeah, as it turns out, most Americans are not wealthy fuck-wits and want our world to actually continue past AI…
The AI that will destroy the world is so far removed from the AI of today we are not even close.
We have a few decades before we get there. One of the advancements that we need to make is cheap unlimited energy. Another blocker is computational power, modern chipsets need an entire factory to run just an LLM of consequence. Yes for those who are knowledgeable they are kind of small a few hundred gigabytes, but running it with any sort of efficiency is a massive undertaking.
These two problems will have to be solved first before AI can doom us all.
What is far more likely is a dystopian future where maybe a thousand people have resources, less than it takes to fully populate a generation ship or to properly sustain the human population, and everyone else is left to starve. Then the world just depopulates.
They want to keep us in subscription services!
I wouldn’t be surprised if a poll on what ordinary people thought of Silicon Valley & Wall Street produced results surprisingly similar to their views on AI.
Not necessarily the end of humanity, but given the current direction almost certainly the end of society as we know it.
Our lives are built around work and jobs. If you take them away and refuse to pay for people’s life, this won’t end well for anyone.
Yahoo survey? So they’re all 50+ years old and are already scared of technology.
Is this saying that as an optimist I’m not a „real“ person?
My lens is neither profit nor exploitation.
It’s quality of life.
My money’s on next Wednesday.
“Judgement Day is inevitable.”
Obvious SV is not going to be paddimistic about it. It’s a money pit for them. A fabulous mouse trap for them. And the perfect thing they can use even with failing business models.
At some point they’ll integrate an AI into a computer game and tell it to be a villain….. and it won’t realise its a game.
Real people?
Yeah, no shit sherlock, because unlike those big business fuckers, they won’t a make fortune from that shit. All the ordinary people are going to get from this AI pandemonium is unemployment and destitution.
Silicon Valley sees the money, the lowered operating expenses by replacing „most Americans“ … this is just the same economic squeeze that’s been going on since the 90s.
Fear is a building block used by the rich.
AI will destroy humanity…when the over-hyped, under delivering bubble finally bursts lot’s of people going to be wiped out $$$….
Americans watch too much TV.
We think it going to but our leaders know it’s going to.
Interesting … I‘m quite convinced that humanity’s end will likely be American made. Maybe I‘m an AI? 🤖
Most people are moron.
„Men in Black“ had already explained this quite clearly about people in general.
Super intelligent AI maybe, but not any of the current AI we have. And we are far from Super intelligence. It’s probably something we don’t want to discover because it’s basically Pandora’s Box. I wouldn’t be comfortable with any super intelligent AI unless it was completely confined in a Faraday Box. Any super intelligent AI connected to outside systems could easily replicate itself out into other systems to prevent shutdown.
Most Americans also voted for trump, so there’s that.
No sign of intelligent life
Most Americans can’t find canada on a map
This just in! Those who stand to benefit most from AI are more optimistic than those who stand to lose the most from it. More at 9.
Its interesting how its not even the ai itself we feel is destroying things but how it is being weaponized by a selected few and framed as a *“good thing“*. A few years ago I would have said I dislike the wealth class but otherwise while they can go fuck themselves I dont hold a personal grudge; however, today with their gleeful ever-present highly-publicized existence (at least some of them) I’ve never hated one particular group of people more.
Yeah well most Americans voted for Trump so…
I don’t think it will destroy the world, but I absolutely think it will destroy the American economy.
The Media is working hard to keep this Narrative going
People should be wondering why capital is being poured in to ai. The only business proposition that justifies all that capital investmemt is the wholesale replacement of human workers by cheaper ai-driven automation.
