A new poll by the Pew Research Center has found that Americans are getting extremely fed up with artificial intelligence in their daily lives.

A whopping 53 percent of just over 5,000 US adults polled in June think that AI will “worsen people’s ability to think creatively.” Fifty percent say AI will deteriorate our ability to form meaningful relationships, while only five percent believe the reverse.

While 29 percent of respondents said they believe AI will make people better problem-solvers, 38 percent said it could worsen our ability to solve problems.

The poll highlights a growing distrust and disillusionment with AI. Average Americans are concerned about how AI tools could stifle human creativity, as the industry continues to celebrate the automation of human labor as a cost-cutting measure.

    Nothing really new here.

    AI is pretty new.

    I hated homework when I was a kid

    Most kids dislike rules, homework, vegetables… Kids liking something isn’t exactly the definition of wether it’s good or bad.

    and I still think it’s pointless

    You’re free to think that. Teachers however study exactly why homework plays a relevant role in education and how to use it - which is why it’s pretty much universally adopted as part of schooling. So again, you liking it or not means very little.
