They think they are winning. :rofl2: The problem with AI? It's ARTIFICIAL. ;)

Only things less popular than AI are Iran, Democrats

A recent NBC poll measuring the favorability of 14 line items found that the only things less popular than artificial intelligence among registered voters (a negative 20) are Iran (negative 53) and the Democratic Party (negative 22).

AI had worse poll numbers than U.S. Immigration Customs Enforcement, sanctuary cities, Stephen Colbert, Kamala Harris and President Trump.

As politicians look to sell the American public on the AI revolution, casting data centers as a path to growth, investment and future prosperity, voters are rightly skeptical of the technology, having lived through the internet revolution.

When the World Wide Web became accessible to the public through browsers in the early 1990s, users were promised an information superhighway at home. The internet was a way to talk with friends instantly, connect with like-minded chat groups and access books, encyclopedias and newspapers that had previously been available only through libraries with card catalogs and microfilm readers.

Boy, did the internet deliver. As of 2020, it contributed about $2.45 trillion (more than 10% of gross domestic product) to U.S. economic growth, creating more than 17 million jobs through digital adoption and e-commerce.

A McKinsey & Co. study found that high broadband adoption in communities across America could increase business growth rates by more than 200% and per capita income by 18%. Efficiency across education, health care and business management improved as connectivity increased. U.S. businesses gained access to international markets through e-commerce, thereby expanding domestic manufacturing and agricultural competitiveness.

Now, nearly every American has a supercomputer in the palm of their hand. Goods can be ordered online and delivered to your home in a matter of hours, if not minutes. Work can be done remotely, allowing people to live and travel where they choose.
