Americans are using AI more than ever while trusting it less than ever — a contradiction that defies conventional wisdom.

A sharp, contrarian look at the messy relationship between humans and the tools they can't quit.─────────────────────────────LINKS & RESOURCES▶ Amazon — AI & Finance Books: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=ai+finance+investing&tag=plaintext05-20 Books on AI, investing, and the future of money▶ Amazon — Best Budget Microphones: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=budget+podcast+microphone&tag=plaintext05-20 Gear to level up your audio setup(Some links above are affiliate links.
