No absolutely not. This is reality, if something increases from 30% to 50%, you need to increase your capacity to handle it by 66%.
That's reality, and not moronic idiocy.

Correct, my question is because the article outright states the number:

38.6% of respondents said they "very trust" or "somewhat trust" advice from AI-generated sources regarding relationships and social interactions. Trust levels were higher among younger generations, with over half of those in their teens and twenties expressing this trust. Among teenage girls, the figure reached 63.1%.

Going off saying 'you don't understand the numbers' when neither of you have translated the article seemed genuinely funny to me.

Edit: I should say, I recognize you understand the numbers — I was not calling out your math.

I did translate and read the article, so WTF do you mean?

I used rounded numbers that are close to make the calculation easier to follow for the people that apparently don't understand how this works.

The part you quote was already quoted.

Listen man, I just figured you did the quick math — it wouldn't occur to me to round something when I can just directly reference the article.

I just thought it was funny man, relax.
