| This is _fantastic_.
|
| Highly recommended reading for anyone here interested in the
| state of AI.
|
| It covers multiple fronts, including research, applications,
| politics, and safety.
|
| Thank you for sharing this on HN!

| An example of the bias:
|
| > shows that 95% of professionals now use AI at work or home
|
| Obviously 95% of professionals don't use AI at work or home,
| and these results are heavily skewed.

| I agree there is some implicit bias in this reporting,

| least previous colleagues) with Ian Hogarth, who is currently
| the chair of the UK AI Safety Institute, recently renamed to
| the "AI Security Institute".
|
| So, I would have to take reporting on safety with a grain of
| salt. That said, I do think there are a lot of other
| interesting insights throughout the presentation.

|
| There's a big difference between using it like Google and
| really enhancing your workflow with it by automating parts of
| your work.
| CaptainOfCoit wrote:
| The question just says "Do you use generative AI tools in
| your work?", which would probably include 100% of office
| workers today, directly or indirectly.
|
| Maybe the 33 people who said "No" doesn't know the
| implementation details so they assume it's not used
| anywhere in their daily professional life.

| I mean, does a Google search count as "using AI"?
| maffyoo wrote:
| just a quick point here; 1.2K is highly statistically
| significant, even for a national level poll/survey. The issue
| here is the potential for selection bias, which seems
| primarily to be driven by people who want to do the survey
| not sure how this ultimately skews the results but 1.2K is
| easily an adequate sample size

|
| I'd wager at least 90% of the survey respondents are
| Americans or live in the US, so that already skews the data
| a ton!

| In my circles it is obviously 100%.
| Ekaros wrote:
| Okay I do toy with local image generation when I get

|
| But other than that only AI use is when google forces it on
| me. And then gets things wrong... Which is easily found out
| by comparing it's output and synopsis on the links it give...

| I'll pass
|
| good to know on the front page though, thanks
| iLoveOncall wrote:
| Yeah, even without taking that into account, the bias is
| obvious and extreme.

| looking up stateof.lol
| zkmon wrote:
| Quite a comprehensive report. But things look too rosy when the

| what the Predictions tab has to say. It has disappointed me with
| the "current-state" news again, not really any predictions.

| I'm an artist, programmer and musician, and is no closer to

| others would either. Anti-capitalist or Anti-fascist I'd

| Everyone wants to use AI themselves so they can work less.
| No one wants their boss to use AI to replace them.

| cs702 wrote:
| I find the deck remarkably comprehensive and in-depth for what

|
| The negativity here is a bit shocking. I mean, we're talking
