Knowing less about AI makes people more open to having it in their lives – new research (theconversation.com)

The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to embrace AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works – who are most eager to adopt it.

Surprisingly, our new research (published in the Journal of Marketing) finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption propensity the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link.

My main thing is I hate it being used as a replacement for human creativity. I definitely think it has its uses. I like using DLSS and DLAA in games that support it. For the most part it's made my gaming experience better. I see its usefulness with generating conversations for NPCs in a game. That's crazy cool but it needs to be tiptoed around. It shouldn't be used to replace writers, voice actors or artists.

I signed up for Midjourney a while back to see what all the hoopla is about. As I sat there refining my prompt and regenerating OVER and over and over to hopefully get something that wasn't all fucked was such a waste of my time and an exponential waste of compute and electricity to generate what is essentially instant garbage. It's crazy and I felt bad about using it afterwards.
