You never know until you've tried it. That's how, so many times, I've been talked into doing things I felt sure I wouldn't enjoy.

I was wrong around 40% of the time -- this is an estimate I've pulled from figments of my imagination. Though I feel sure, I've been enticed into this approximation by a new study that lay down across my screen and whispered sweet somethings.

Emerging from the enterprise of chatbot Tidio -- slogan: "a better way to communicate with customers" -- this study of more than 1,200 people offered a fascinating view of the future. Or, more precisely, a fascinating view of other people's view of the future.

Some of it feels depressingly familiar.

69% of college graduates worry that AI will take their jobs or make them irrelevant. If AI was truly intelligent, wiser heads insist it really isn't; it would immediately replace those jobs with something better.

These fine respondents believed that cashiers, drivers and translators had most to fear.

One assumes, therefore, that there weren't too many cashiers, drivers and translators among the respondents because 45% claim to have a positive view of AI taking control of the economy. I'm sure that only the finest economic minds will program particular AI. They always do such an excellent job.

A majority of these fine human subjects were happy to have AI take over air traffic control and driving them to their destination through traffic.

Oddly, however, many don't seem to mind if the robots are abused. 32% said, oh, please, let's not worry about robot rights. Wait, only 32%? What are the rest thinking?
