Recent survey showed on HN that 60% of adults in the US dislike it which means that 40% either don't care or like it 40 is a massive number, you're not that far from a coin flip.

I don't think any of us have a good read on how people feel because the vocal people are very vocal. Here on HN you'd guess everybody hates it or loves it and there are a bunch of us like me that just view it as a tool with consequences that are currently not understood.

There is such a massive amount of propaganda out there about everything, do you really trust anybody's read on a tech we've never seen before? I don't. How many people are actually well-informed?

Your closer to a 2/3 and 1/3 split then a coin flip with 60%.

You handwaved that 40% to a positive. This could easily mean very few people have a positive view of AI.

The only point I was making is that 40% is a huge number.

60% is a 50% bigger number than 40%, so I don't understand your point at all.

Generally, in American winner-take-all politics, 60% is considered a massive landslide.

> 40 is a massive number

Where does that leave 60, then?

In US politics at least that’s plenty to shut things down, which is exactly what’s happening.

I love AI assisted learning and code generation - absolutely despise AI “art” though - image, music, written word, video. If AI was just being used to get shit done efficiently, what a dream that would be, instead we are generating infinite mountains of useless bytes to suck people’s brains out in TikTok feeds and annihilate access to original thoughts in a Google search.
