I care A LOT about AI regulation, but the regulations questions are not at all the type of regulations I care about.

My concern is that we will eventually build intelligence that surpasses humans in all ways, which has a very high risk of killing us, replacing us, or at the very most optimistic still requiring civilization-level overhaul. I want regulations to slow and/or prevent that.

I couldn't care less about having a "right" to a human doctor. Actually I find the notion a bit ridiculous. In the pre-AI world most people across the world don't have easy access to a human doctor.

I helped design and analyze the poll.

Like in most prior polling, only about 1/3 of Americans had positive sentiment toward AI (and 1/3 were negative and 1/3 mixed). But people who use AI daily are much more positive than the broader population. Which I think means that the HN crowd is more positive than most of the USA about AI?
