AI chatbots will ultimately have a ____ impact on society.

👍 Good (8%) – "Powerful tools can be used for good or bad – but I think as a whole we are all trying to be good people."

📈 Mostly good (21%) – "AI chat-bots have a lot of potential, but it's important we keep an incredibly close eye on how they evolve and change. So long as we're careful now and into the future, we can make sure AI chat-bots remain helpful."

↔️ Neutral/zero-sum (17%) – "I'm not sure if it's good or bad, it's just different. It will change the way we teach, I think, or at least have an impact on it. We still, in the near future, need people to review what it produces as it's not always correct, and it is limited."

📉 Mostly bad (28%) – "I’m sure there will be good applications of AI. But people using clunky AI to fact check or attempt to do their work feels like a potential issue. Also I believe businesses will attempt to use it to replace customer service which will be frustrating when it isn’t perfect."

• "Given the propensity of humans to turn technology toward negative, criminal uses, and the "lag" between catching the criminal use and the remedial protection, this technology will fall into the typical "loop" we've seen with earlier tech."

👎 Bad (16%) – "Apart from diluting human creativity, critical thinking, and focus, it will raise all kinds of potential legal hurdles in the future. The internet will become even more unreliable with AI creating untrue material."

🤷 Unsure/other (10%) – "I don't know if chatbots themselves will have a negative impact. However, I think there is potential for people to misuse/abuse the technology. As of now chatbot is still just some code, it's the response from people that will really mean anything."
