Do we need a poll for this? You'd need to be living under a rock or only listening to AI sycophants to believe the average person is enjoying the new AI world.

I mean, lets be real, the way LLMs have been unleashed on the world has not been an overall positive. Don't misconstrue that to be me saying LLMs and AI is useless though, I am not! Can AI be an overall positive one day? Absolutely yes; I think its a guarantee really. Is AI useful right now? Yep. What I'm saying is the negative now outweighs the positive now because of how its being used, narratives and excuses around it.

there is a lot of astroturfing and bot farming with regard to online sentiment and also lots of pr and articles (payed placement or otherwise)

its kind of like a manufacturing of reality via pr and then people get surprised when reality doesn't match the propaganda...
