As much as I agree with this poll, duck duck go is a very self selecting audience. The number doesn’t actually mean much statistically.

If the general public knew that “AI” is much closer to predictive text than intelligence they might be more wary of it

There was no implication that this was a general poll designed to demonstrate the general public’s attitudes. I’m not sure why you mentioned this.

Because that's how most people implicitly frame headlines like this one: a generalization of the public

I mean you Gotta Hand it to "Ai" - it is very sophisticated, and Ressource intensive predicitive Text.

The poll didn't even ask a real question. "Yes AI or no AI?" No context.
