Some of the marginalized groups most likely to be harmed by AI are also most wary of it. A new study’s findings raise questions about equity and consent in technology design.
Everyone else is harmed, both directly and indirectly, and it makes the customer experience far worse because workers are replaced by chatbots that are incapable of understanding.
From what I’ve seen, the only people that have a positive view of AI are those who see themselves as the master of others. The trans, nonbinary, & disabled people in this study are very unlikely to fit that mold.
You’re probably overthinking this. To me it shows that this technology, which is often advertised as a tool to level the playing field and “democratize” industries is viewed as doing the exact opposite. Those who should benefit the most from it feel threatened and it looks like we’re moving closer to techno feudalism by the day as LLMs are squeezed into everything without thought. Fascists tend to love AI, use AI and advance AI. That makes the technology a natural enemy of many minorities.
The survey concludes that transgender, non-binary and disabled people tend to view AI more negatively than others. Nothing about this statistical result implies that there aren’t plenty of people in other groups, like you, who view AI negatively. It makes a claim about statistical trends.
If you read a report on statistical trends and repond “That’s bullshit! It doesn’t describe me!” it suggests you’re missing the point of surveys and statistics. The survey is quite compatible with many non-disabled cis men disliking AI a lot.
Plenty of non-chatbots applications that do help the regular user though. Even if most of it is corporate bullshit, some of it isn’t.
Like for example VLC using it for subtitles on any video you have, in any language you want and automatically synced correctly. That they hallucinate a couple of times doesn’t really matter in that context.
Only corporate executives benefit from AI.

Sorry cis male here I find AI negatively. This article is bullshit trying to separate us. We should all be appalled by AI.

Not “more negatively”. A higher proportion of that group view it the same amount of negative.
Its a peice designed to position those people as less intelligent. Same type if bullshit as in the 20s - 70s
“more likely”
