"The percentage of respondents ages 14 to 29 who said they felt hopeful about A.I. declined sharply since last year, down to 18 percent from 27.

Young adults’ excitement about artificial intelligence dropped, too, and nearly a third of respondents indicated that the technology made them feel angry."

That's rough.

@stefan I feel like the fact that even the "more hopeful" time was 29%, which is less than even one third kind of says a lot... The fact that it's now less than a fifth speaks volumes though...
