16 percent of Americans think AI will have a positive impact

Going to need this group cross-referenced with the percentage of Americans who enjoy CSAM.

CSAM numbers (intentional viewers, not incidental stumbling upon it) are probably closer to 1/3-1/2 of that.

16% is the same amount that approved of Trumps stupid birthday bash, though. And the same percentage that say the economy is doing great currently. And the same as people who have invested in bitcoin. I'd expect a high rate of overlap in those 16%s.
