So what's the aggregate perspective of the 99%? You've described the 1% well, but that's only... well to be honest it is probably quite a bit less than 1% of all humans.
Any thoughts? What do you think the average work-a-day Joe thinks about all this?
- Way more people think AI will have a negative effect on the US over the next 20 years than think it will have a positive effect (35% vs 17%)
- Even more people think increased usage of AI will personally harm them than benefit them (43% vs 24%)
- Women and men have a huge gap on this: 53% of men say increased use of AI makes them feel more excited than concerned, versus 30% of women (probably due to deepfakes, but also likely due to women being more likely to be progressive, and the big anti-AI memes going around progressive spaces).
- 64% of people think AI will net eliminate jobs over the next 20 years versus just 14% that think it will even just not make much of a difference
It's also worth noting that AI experts were wildly out of touch with those attitudes compared to the general population.

Have you seen a study on this that you find credible?

Key findings (to me):
- Way more people think AI will have a negative effect on the US over the next 20 years than think it will have a positive effect (35% vs 17%)
- Even more people think increased usage of AI will personally harm them than benefit them (43% vs 24%)
