Knowing less about AI makes people more open to having it in their lives – new research (theconversation.com)

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.

So you're tech savvy and you use AI as it should be - like a tool. Not a magic genie that will spit out code for you.

As a djinn, I don't appreciate this anti-genie rhetoric.
