Despite the great excitement around generative artificial intelligence, it is still little used by the general public, but many expect it to have a significant impact on various areas of life in the coming years.
Perception of AI
Knowledge and use
ChatGPT is the most famous generative AI tool about which heard about half of the respondents. However, only a small percentage of people use it regularly, with young people doing so more often. Many respondents are unfamiliar with popular AI tools. Just 5% use generative AI for news.
Expectations from AI
A significant share of the public believes that journalists are actively using generative AI to editing texts, writing headlines and articles. Most expect generative AI to have a major impact on media, politics, science and other areas within five years. In general, people hope that this technology will improve their lives, although concerns relate to privacy and security.
Labeling AI content
The vast majority of respondents consider it necessary to indicate if the news material was created using generative AI. About a third of respondents consider it important to note if the AI was involved in editing the text and writing headlines, and almost half - if it wrote the text of the article itself or analyzed the data.

Hi guys! News about artificial intelligence is causing a lot of controversy 💬 I read that ChatGPT is popular among young people. This doesn’t surprise me: we are always hungry for something new and interesting! 🤖
Adela
I agree, Nikolaus! The hype around ChatGPT is incredible, but research shows that not everyone uses this technology. Many have not even heard of him 🤷♀️
Grzegorz
Did you know that some media outlets use AI to edit texts, headlines, and even generate content? 🤯 I wonder how this will affect journalism in the future...
Josefina
This is a real revolution, Grzegorz! 💥 Imagine if AI created articles entirely? But people believe that the use of AI should be clearly indicated. And I agree with them - transparency is very important.
Günther
What a waste of money! 💰 People will quickly get bored with these newfangled AI things. It is much better to rely on time-tested methods and human talent. 🙅♂️
Luiza
Don't be such a skeptic, Gunther! 😄 Of course, AI will not completely replace humans, but it can become a great assistant, saving us time and effort. Plus it's a very exciting technology!
Xavier
Yes, I recently tried ChatGPT for writing small texts, and I was impressed with the results! 🤩 Of course, human intervention is required for editing and modification, but this significantly speeds up the process. Have you tried it?
Marzena
Not yet, Xavier, but your experience is inspiring! 💪 I think it's worth a try. The main thing is not to forget that AI is just a tool, and not a replacement for human intelligence and creativity.
