we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Did they use AI to sequence the genome of a mummy, then hire an artist to make their portrait, or are they having AI write the explanations next to the artefacts? Is a gallery creating a VR version of a famous piece where you can "walk around in the painting" and the artist is using AI to prop up the background visuals like how video games do? It is already a wonky research design to poll on the "AI bad no nuance" website (unless you're comparing data across samples and you're running a standardised poll across several platforms¹), but the average person is going to be extremely uninformed about the applications of various "AI" tools in wildly different areas of science.

When you say "AI", people here usually assume generative "plagiarism machines", against which the attitude is undeniably hostile. You're getting data which doesn't represent the actual views people nicht hold because you're triggering knee-jerk reactions with "exhibits, marketing²" (vague!!!) before they could start thinking about how research could benefit.
