Public trust in AI is sinking across the board

Trust in AI technology and the companies that develop it is dropping, in both the U.S. and around the world, according to new data from Edelman shared first with Axios.
Why it matters: The move comes as regulators around the world are deciding what rules should apply to the fast-growing industry. "Trust is the currency of the AI era, yet, as it stands, our innovation account is dangerously overdrawn," Edelman global technology chair Justin Westcott told Axios in an email. "Companies must move beyond the mere mechanics of AI to address its true cost and value — the 'why' and 'for whom.'"

The current LLM version of AI is useful in some niche industries where finding specific patterns is useful but how it's currently popularised is the exact opposite of where it's useful. A very obvious example is how it's accelerating search engines becoming useless, it's already hard to find accurate info due the overwhelming amount of AI generated articles with false info.
Also how is it a good thing that most energy will go to AI?
