Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results

@lexfeathers The duck has good marketing, kudos !

@notthatdelta @lexfeathers 5% is low enough we could go door to door handing out dunce caps

Update

[mossyfoot@pdx.social]

@depereo @lexfeathers @req yep it's exactly the same without the AI.

[krunchyrice@mastodon.social]

@lexfeathers I love your music, I've been working on a piano cover of succession.
It's funny I happened to open mastodon at your first post.

@dan @notthatdelta @lexfeathers there are probably simply more people on the NoAI side who know how to work around the multiple vote protection.

@lexfeathers "we don't all feel the same about ai"

96% no? i think we mostly do…

[oldgeek@masto.yttrx.com]

@torstentorsten @lexfeathers there has aleady been a study that AI is deskilling doctors: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/langas/article/PIIS2468-1253(25)00133-5/abstract

@lexfeathers

I seem to belong to the majority. Astonishing.

@lexfeathers
"We don't all feel the same way about AI."

But 95% of us do apparently. 😆

[imgoneinpeace@mastodon.social]

@lexfeathers I made an AI as a project in college. I know how it works in depth. NO! The fact that AI has become so popular is only because the military is giving our tax money to greedy corporations to keep their monopolistic failures of a carcass afloat because their CEOs have more money than brains. The technology is not useful to the common joe and jane.

[dan@cloudisland.nz]

@lilo @notthatdelta @lexfeathers well, it's targeting duckduckgo users... whom i suspect have largely gone to DDG to avoid AI on other search engines. Not saying it doesn't likely reflect a growing public backlash against AI everywhere, but I am saying the target demo is biased

[coriander@elekk.xyz]

@lexfeathers The way the little NO bar instantly filled up with the cute corpo animation had me rolling

[claushoumann@mastodon.social]

@notthatdelta @lexfeathers @Em0nM4stodon its even higher at 9600 votes, 98% iirc

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@brhfl @vaporeon_ @lexfeathers this is new. When I voted no it just shows me the stats. Wow

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@claushoumann @notthatdelta @lexfeathers @Em0nM4stodon back to 95% when I voted, but still all the way up there.

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@davidjamesweir @lexfeathers there's also the vague possibility that it may be used internally to push back against decisions from the top, but either way it's still worth voting and great to see such skewed results
