It's the entire premise of the article. Supported by data within the article.
If you have evidence to the contrary, it seems to me the burden of proof lies on you to show it. "People frequently visit this one site that's currently talked about a lot" is not evidence that people are in favor of AI.
Really Nothing in that article supports a statement as strong as "US public opinion on AI is negative".
>"People frequently visit this one site that's currently talked about a lot" is not evidence that people are in favor of AI.
ChatGPT wasn't released last week. It's nearly 2 years old and it's growth has been steady. People aren't visiting the site that much because of some 15 minutes of fame, they're visiting it because they find use of it that frequently. You don't get that many weekly active users otherwise.
And yeah, if that many people use it that frequently then you're going to need real evidence to say that they have a poor opinion on it, not tangentially related random surveys.
Oh the survey said most people wouldn't pay money for features they currently get for free ? Come on.
I agree that features you don't want shouldn't be shoved down your throat. I genuinely do. But that's about the only thing in the article I agree with.
No condescension necessary.
