Arr matey, this latest study hath uncovered that these fancy AI contraptions be needin' a fair bit o' polish afore they be accepted by the masses. Looks like we be stickin' to parrots for conversin' for a wee bit longer! Arrr!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, avast ye land lubbers! If ye be feelin' a bit overwhelmed or left behind by ChatGPT and other AI tools, fear not – a big new international study has found that most of us scallywags aren't using generative AI tools on a regular basis. The study from Reuters Institute and Oxford University (via BBC), which surveyed over 12,000 people across six countries, seemingly reveals how little that AI hype has percolated down to real-world use, for now.Even among the scurvy dogs who have used generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Google Gemini, or Microsoft Copilot, a large proportion said they'd only used them "once or twice". Only a tiny minority said they use the most well-known AI tool, ChatGPT, on a daily basis. A significant number of respondents hadn't even heard of ChatGPT, a figure that was much higher for other AI apps.Arrr, the use cases were split into two categories; "creating media" and "getting information". The most popular answer in the former was "playing around or experimenting." The top two answers in the 'getting information' category were "answering factual questions" and "asking advice". While the survey provides some interesting insights, most people believe that generative AI will have a big impact on our daily lives in the future.
