> the book could be written by a human. I don't understand why so many people in these discussions are so keen to ignore the impact of scale and accessibility when it comes to new technology, and specifically this new technology. Yes, most dangerous things that can be done with AI can also be done by humans. Is it not meaningful that these dangerous things can now be done far more cost effectively? It would've made n…
> Is it not meaningful that these dangerous things can now be done far more cost effectively? It is meaningful. Humans can publish 10 books with 10 mistakes inside, A.I. can publish a trillion books with countless mistakes. Radically different scale. Imagine this: A writer after he finishes writing a book, he goes to a government office, and stamps electronically the hash signature of the book as "Human Approved". Th…
Not sure what the point of this would be, the government worker will almost certainly have no ability to verify that the books people bring in weren't written with AI.
> That cannot be true. A massive poll of at least 10.000 people could demolish that myth.
The third link in the pew article I provided has some methodological details:
"Pew Research Center conducted this study to understand attitudes about artificial intelligence and its uses. For this analysis, we surveyed 11,201 U.S. adults from July 31 to Aug. 6, 2023."
> organized by the age of participants
I agree this would interesting. I found a smaller survey (n=1500) that suggests while young people are less anti-AI than older people, they are still heavily anti-AI [1]. Only 20% of Gen-Z states they're "excited about AI," while 29% say they're skeptical and 18% say they don't trust it. This meshes with my experience; even among colleagues that use and/or research AI they're nervous about the impact it'll have on society.
> Ages 18-30 will be 80% in favor of A.I.
I'm curious why you would assume this. In scenarios where AI causes major job loss, young people have by far the most to lose, as they haven't had nearly as much time to build up resources and acquire property.
