> A quarter of smartphone owners (25%) don't find AI features helpful,
So does that mean 75% _do_ find AI Feature helpful?
> 45% are reluctant to pay a monthly subscription fee for AI capabilities
Are 55% happy to pay a monthly fee?
>34% have privacy concerns.
66% have no privacy concerns?

no stat on this but I think we can assume based on the others that it is not split evenly because that was not the methodology

I think we could presume an answer - if the respondents first received a full accounting of how their phones track and record their lives, along with a full list of who is getting that data.
Ok my next comeback - people are treating AI tools like a musical instrument.
It’s like picking up a guitar for the first time, twanging a few strings and saying ‘Nah, this sounds shit’. Guitars are useless. I’d never pay for a guitar.
Even chatGPT has a learning curve. I save myself hours or days per day using it for all sorts of things. Anyone who says they can’t find a use for AI is just lazy and hasn’t tried hard.
There are lots of people who could benefit massively from using AI. Who have no moral objection to it. But they just dismiss it so quickly because it doesn’t instantly, magically make beautiful things for them.
Anyone who cannot get something useful done by AI - who does want to do that - is lazy.
It’s like saying in the 19th century - oh this electricity isn’t really useful for anything much beyond lights. What’s the point?
This might be the central point of the conflict. I believe there are a few people who can benefit a great deal. And I think lots of people could probably benefit a little. But I don't think lots of people could benefit massively. It just doesn't work that well.
25% checked the box saying they don't find AI tools helpful, but only 14% said they do. Which means 61% checked neither box.
45% are reluctant to pay, but only 6% said they were willing to. So again, 49% simply didn't say one way or the other.
12% straight-up didn't check any box at all.
But why include people who didn’t pick anything? Surely they should be ignored and it ends up being 64/36.
It's just a bad poll.
Yet they do provide sufficient information for the headline. AI integrations came in 7th place for considerations when upgrading a smartphone.
45% unwilling to pay a monthly fee, 6% willing to pay a monthly fee.
