Why do websites need to be so front end heavy? When a software company spend so much effort on fancy website, I don’t trust their product. Except anthropic i guess.

I am disappointed in how vague the classifications are for what people want. 'professional excellence ' anyone? I was expecting more concrete responses, but I guess since it's working with what we told it, generalities are prevalent in a write up. If I keep looking, perhaps at the quotes, I might find more concrete answers.

And just keep scrolling, you can make it to the story eventually.

Yeah I want to know how many people are using AI for social purposes; to provide the role of a friend. But I don’t know what category that would be under.

Maybe most interesting about the piece is, that we'll likely see more large scale interviews like this (even if this one is a bit bland)

I don't like describing countries like this but: a bit underdeveloped countries (compared to North American and European countries) seem to have a more positive view on AI.

Cool to find my own quote among those they've decided to showcase.

Save you a click, way, way down the page you'll find that it's all generic, whitewashed niceties like:

01. Professional excellence 18.8%

02. Personal transformation 13.7%

03. Life management 13.5%

04. Time freedom 11.1%

05. Financial independence 9.7%

06. Societal transformation 9.4%

07. Entrepreneurship 8.7%

08. Learning & growth 8.4%

09. Creative expression 5.6%

I find this highly suspicious. I'm sure there would be at least 10% who respond "I want it to go away".

That's explained in the article.

> These are active Claude users who'd already found enough value to keep using AI, and our interview asked first for positive visions for AI and then for concerns that would counter their vision.

Boy is that a terrible website. I tried to find a story and give up.

To be fair, there is a button right at the beginning saying “Jump to story”. It’s not the most obvious, I agree, but it is there.

That's hilarious.

It's like those recipe sites that have 5 pages of nice photos and background story and side tracks and whatnot as the author waxes verbose, so they need to put a 'Jump to recipe' button in so people don't just click 'Back' immediately.

Except this time for an article.

I can't tell if 'skip the junk' is good (junk can be skipped!) or bad (maybe this means there's too much junk on the page?)

And that's why I always come to the comments before deciding if the article is worth checking out. Thank you for your service.

Consistent users of ~~product~~ AI find it favorable. Color me shocked.

I'm much more curious about the results of 80k people who don't use AI regularly.

They do not find it favorable all of the time. If you look into the "What people are concerned about" section, these same people will call out the "Unreliability" as a top-1 concern. So, you can be excited and critical of the technology at the same time. To me this is a more worthy indicator than people who are on either of the extremes, highly critical of the tech or not critical at all.

Intrigued to see a blatant grammatical error ("took that logic farther" should be "took that logic further").

Is this incompetence or a deliberate error to indicate human authorship?

If the former then why aren't they using at least an AI to proof read? If the latter then what do anthropic think is wrong with AI written text?
