Thats not really measuring people turning against AI because they still use AI. Look at the other usage numbers theyre cooked. Its just people emoting one way and acting another very American.
Yeah, man. Jobs now require you to use them and health insurance is predicated on you having a job. Yet again, the American oligarchs can force their way, regardless of what we want.
You dont actually believe that do you?
Yes, I do. I'm living it, man
I dont believe you but if I accept that as true youve got to be 0.0000001% of the population who is actually being forced. Even within the tech sector whole tech sector not just big tech its suggested and its encouraged but you arent forced plenty of engineers choose not to use AI. Outside of tech nobody being "forced" to use AI.
These are slop articles that write everyone is using it one day and nobody is using it the next. Its hype not reflecting the reality for most people.
The people in this survey "worrying" about AI are using it aren't forced at thier job to do so. They likely choose to use it day to day because its quite convenient. Thats why it rings so hollow. I'm there are some who are skeptical and avoiding it and they are respectable.
