How do you get the subdivisions on the right given the category labels on the left?
How can 10% of optimists say AI will be bad or extremely bad long term?

Maybe they are optimistic about human extinction

Even the optimists are unsure, so they still give about 10% chance of bad effects (on average). Similarly for the pessimist.
The data actually works in the other way: the right is the raw data, and the left subdivision is based on that.
Original visualization (which is also pretty beautiful but perhaps a bit harder to interpret): https://twitter.com/KatjaGrace/status/1635280174748164096/photo/1

In other words it's arbitrary groupings. The original visualization doesn't suffer from that.

That is actually beautiful data, thanks.

Not OP, but here’s what I assume is the report: https://aiimpacts.org/2022-expert-survey-on-progress-in-ai/
It must be tough being a researcher in a field that you think will bring about the extinction of the human race.

Assuming I kind of understand what the heck this is saying, Can someone tell us what the area is “under the curve” on the right side is? I want three categories, blue/green, yellow, orange/red.

Computer becomes smart and decides Mans bad, but murder is worse, computer then decides to just kill all computers to curb man. Wake up one day back in the dark ages.

Spoke to my friend Daneel Olivaw yesterday and he said they just need more positronic brains and mumbled something about 3 laws isn't enough and they needed law nr 0.

Hold on, you have like 5% that think it's awesome to have human exctinction?
This is more about the mindset of 1.7% of AI researchers than anything else

This info is leaning hard on the "assume that it will someday exist", it's pretty misleading on first and second glance. I know you probably didn't design the survey, but this attitude towards GAI should really be presented through a more neutral question.

AI will be great!
I's the humans in power using it, that are likely to do something weird with it.
Like tools are awesome, but they can also be used to brutally murder people.
Same as anything else, when you know there's a danger, you take some time to put some safety measures in place.

What is this chart and why is it arranged this way???
Very confusing, is the left pipe self indentified categories with the right being those categories opinions? Took me a minute to get to that though.
