It’s separated by region.

ITT: Americans finding out they're more right leaning in general.

At this point it's a survey of reddit opinions. Everyone knows reddit opinions aren't representative of normal people.

It won't be. There's no way to do that accurately without some way to prove who the voter is. The voting will just be manipulated.
This site is about as useful as a buzzfeed poll.

Not supposed to be scientific (I think), I see it more like Wii everybody votes channel where you can just vote for fun and see what other people think.
Maybe would be interesting if users had basic demographics linked to their votes to see how it skews.

Sites like this get shared among super liberal places like reddit. But can you imagine grandmothers on Facebook using it? No.
So you get skewed distributions of things. It only represents those people that take the survey, and by the nature of the site those people will all strongly think the same.
Also the questions aren't useful. Should abortion be legal? Simply a yes/no doesn't give any meaningful information. The debate is basically down to 'if it should be legal, when should it be legal'. The current left wing stance is that it should be legal up to 1second before labor happens. The right wing stance is 'sometimes legal, often before heartbeat'.
But according to that poll site everyone supports abortion.

Also self reported data is often flawed in and of itself

Once you get to the voting part, you can also create a new poll of your own! Look for the "New Poll" option in the top menu

Thanks for the list - I tried to make it trickier for bots by using invisible captcha. I couldn't find any real solutions for the rest

That's a good point. I'm hoping that this website (or something like it) can become a useful tool for democracy - very quickly giving local governments a rough idea of what the people want

Bots, Brigading, Poorly structured questions, Typical public survey manipulations Also the slide to vote if not done correctly could present false positives for selecting your vote

Oh for sure. I get that. My own bias showed even though I tried not to.

I believe the concern is that the sample of respondents is not random, and indeed, not really representative of any particular population. Thus, the data reflects the bias not of the population of that specific area alone but also the channels via which this program is disseminated.

Don't worry... there has to be a person operating/optimizing/continuously developing the ai
People shouldn't fear ai. It's just a new kind of tool. The right tool for the job. AI expertise is a resume item now like Photoshop or CAD. And there's a rich ecosystem because many competitors are creating unique models - Midjourney, crAIyon just being the first of many for eg graphic design. People fear the change of new technologies, like weaving looms caused a huge upset, but if you position yourself for the direction of the field you'll do well. Find the school program with the most specialty in integrated interior design and cutting edge software.
Source: I work in a tech niche that had an AI upset/gamechanger a year ago. People freaked at first but now it's just a (very helpful due to SPEED) step integrated into the existing product development pathway and everyone is finding it feasible to make their own version of the initial proprietary model. Some people code the AI but many more apply it. And I've heard from building architects that there's always a lot of money in interior design

Hi. Could you explain this to me please? Like, if it’s a random person survey and assuming the randoms are telling the truth about how they feel, why wouldn’t it be useful somehow?

I feel like AI is a new buzz word to make something sound better than it is.

yeah, as others have said, don't be discouraged! 🙏 in my mind, the point of creative jobs or art in general is the portrayal of human emotion and creativity. on a very broad level, it is a way for humans to connect with each other. no AI will ever replace a human art - at least as far as I'm concerned - because a piece of art for me is the expression of another human being. I don't care very much about a physical object, I care about the person that made it.
