Majority of tech experts say the magnitude of change in humans’ native capacities/behaviors as they adapt to AI will be “deep and meaningful,” or even “dramatic” over next decade

This is such important work. Worth a full read
We released a new report yesterday looking at the pressures teens face, their future aspirations, and how they see the experiences of boys and girls at their school. Among many important findings: 60% of teen girls - vs. 46% of boys - say they plan to attend a 4-year college. pewrsr.ch/4kKMHRC
The Gender Gap in Teen Experiences
Teen girls and boys in the U.S. face different pressures and report different experiences at school, though they have many of the same goals in life.

LLMs will have a range of positive & negative impacts in the next decade, say today's LLM users. They are upbeat about health breakthroughs, but worried about social fallout.

LLM users often think the tech companies that build the models should be responsible for managing policy-related problems and issues.

NEW survey of LLM users shows there are times when they turn to the models to help them face major life moments, such as upgrading their work skills or addressing a medical issue.

Here are some of the darker impacts users say LLMs are having on them/making them feel. The list starts with making them feel lazy or like they were cheating.
