Retool, a development platform for business software, recently published the results of its State of AI survey. Over 1,500 people took part, all from the tech industry:...
Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated::undefined
That is a terrible graph. There’s no y axis, there’s no indication of what the scale is, and I don’t know how many people they asked or who these people were or what tech company they worked in.
Just over 23% believe it is rated fairly, while a quarter of respondents were presumably proponents of the tech as they said it was underrated. However, 51.6% of people said it was overrated.
That sentence is a fantastic demonstration of how bad this article is. The article says that a quarter say the technology is underrated, but it looks more like half to me. Not that it matters because, as I said the scale is useless. Also they are lumping 51.6% I don’t know how they came up with that number because again we don’t know what the total was, just that it was more than 1,500. You can’t calculate a percentage without knowing the total.
The graph has 11 options so were they rating it on a scale of between 1 and 11. What’s that?

It’s just a clickbait article for people who know next to nothing about AI but have personal investment in calling new technology bad.
Sounds like this article was written with AI.
