AI has been developing over time and has recently started to become more prominent. With more people becoming more aware of AI and its use, they’ve started to use it for things such as image generation, writing tools, and for other personal uses.

Many people have different opinions on it. From the Pew Research Center, 18% of Americans view AI as a benefit while 37% view it as something to be concerned about. The other 45% are somewhere in between. Those who are worried are mostly concerned about the possibility of job loss, and their privacy. Some people think AI can allow work to be easier and more efficient.

Self driving cars have always been something people have dreamt of, and now that AI has improved, it’s a thing companies have been testing. Most Americans see this as risky and dangerous as people could get killed or injured. There are other people who think that self driving cars could be convenient because it would make getting around less stressful. Then again, those who make deliveries in cars or any other vehicle have the chance of losing their job.

AI generated art has been something many people and artists have been talking about recently. An article from IDS News says that because the AI cannot feel like humans can, it can’t really incorporate emotions into art the way humans can. While AI can be useful for making quick art, If people were to use AI to generate images more often, artists may not be able to make enough money to support a stable home life.

All in all, it seems like people have mixed feelings about the use of AI. It can take on tasks that some people wouldn’t want to do or would find inconvenient. Despite the fact it can be helpful, for some people, it can be a problem. I think that people’s biggest concerns around the use of AI are about privacy and job loss. I think that while AI can be helpful for some things, it can be a problem if people abuse it.
