The rapid spread of artificial intelligence has people wondering: who’s most likely to embrace AI in their daily lives? Many assume it’s the tech-savvy – those who understand how AI works – who are most eager to adopt it.
Surprisingly, our new research (published in the Journal of Marketing) finds the opposite. People with less knowledge about AI are actually more open to using the technology. We call this difference in adoption propensity the “lower literacy-higher receptivity” link.
Yup. These “AI” machines are not much more than glorified pattern recognition software. They are hallucination machines that sometimes get things right by accident.
Comparing them to .tar or .zip files is an interesting way of thinking about how the “training process” is nothing more than adjusting the machine sot that it copies the training data (backwards propagation). Since training works is such a way that the machine’s definition of success is how well if copies the training data:
Dont give me the credit, I just once saw a Video about how you could theoretically use an llm as a compression algorithm for password (or in this case prompt) protected files. Like, if you make that work, you can literally retcon someone (like the Feds) about cracking your file.
