Majority of tech experts say the magnitude of change in humans’ native capacities/behaviors as they adapt to AI will be “deep and meaningful,” or even “dramatic” over next decade

➡️ New on Reboot Democracy, @lrainie.bsky.social writes about new research that shows that while many Americans are fearful in important ways about AI – particularly generative AI and LLMs – the user base is exploding. rebootdemocracy.ai/blog/love-ha...

@thegovlab.org @burnescenter.bsky.social

This is such important work. Worth a full read

LLMs will have a range of positive & negative impacts in the next decade, say today's LLM users. They are upbeat about health breakthroughs, but worried about social fallout.

Today's LLM users have mixed views about how the models will affect people's daily lives overall in the next 10 years.
Survey findings from @ITDFuture at Elon University

#LLM #AI #GenerativeAI #AIresearch

LLM users often think the tech companies that build the models should be responsible for managing policy-related problems and issues.
New survey and report from @ITDFuture at Elon University
imaginingthedigitalfuture.org/reports-and-...
#LLM #AI #GenerativeAI #AIresearch

NEW survey of LLM users shows there are times when they turn to the models to help them face major life moments, such as upgrading their work skills or addressing a medical issue.
Per @ITDFuture at Elon University

Here are some of the darker impacts users say LLMs are having on them/making them feel. The list starts with making them feel lazy or like they were cheating.

#LLM #AI #GenerativeAI #AIresearch

Many more LLM users than not say their use of the models has improved their productivity, ability to solve problems and even creativity.
New survey by @ITDFuture at Elon University

#LLM #AI #GenerativeAI #AIresearch

LLMs show a bunch of personality traits, according to users. They range from acting like a good work colleague to showing negative emotions like sarcasm, sadness and brusqueness.
New survey @ITDFuture at Elon University

#LLM #GenerativeAI #AIresearch

LLMs have some human-like attributes, according to some of the users of the models. That includes those who think the models have the capacity to think and reason, make moral judgments.
Survey by @ITDFuture at Elon University

#LLM #AI #AIresearch

LLM users say the models usually work well for them when it comes the completeness of answers, accuracy, fairness. A little less satisfaction when it comes to ethics.
Data in new report @ITDFuture at Elon University
imaginingthedigitalfuture.org/reports-and-...
#LLM #AI #GenerativeAI #AIresearch

My favorite stats in our new report about how people use LLMs: 23% of LLM users have looked up what the models say about people they know; 18% have looked up what models say about them
