Have you ever used AI to help you make a big decision? I've used it to help figure out how to fit furniture in a small room and make it work. It was wrong, but it gave us a starting point. I think that's what it's meant for. A starting point or help point you in the right direction, it doesn't mean it's the law. You can tell when someone writes a story for you and they use AI. I promise you I'm writing this as I sit in my office. So if you ask AI for help with something, does that mean it's the best way?
A survey of over 1500 Americans was made and it found AI had influenced their opinions at least occasionally, while only 16% trust AI "a great deal." So if you go into it knowing it's not "The Law" and the only option you should be good.
So what's the downside? Privacy topped concerns at 48%, because people don't know what AI is collecting. If you've uploaded a pic, they have your likeness. Think about it. What if it's an advertiser trying to market to you? It could influence your opinion to purchase a product. You just don't know.
