7 Personality Traits That Make You Immune to AI Hype
Which one are you?
Contrary to popular belief, AI hype feeds on personality, not stupidity.
If you’re uniquely immune to it, it’s not because other people are idiots but because constant exaggeration is tiring, annoying, or irrelevant for a specific type of person. Your type of person.
Below are 7 personality traits that make someone immune to AI hype. Which one are you?
1. Low openness to experience
Low openness to experience is associated with cultural conservatism, which means that you like the status quo and dislike progress (meaning changes).
But I don’t agree with low openness being unquestionably bad, despite what any psychology book would have you believe.
Being “closed” to generative AI is ok.
It means you prefer routine, structure, or simply things that function as expected. How bad is it that AI systems work spectacularly at times yet fail regularly instead of being boringly reliable?
For you, that’s unacceptable. You don’t like unpredictable performance in your software applications, as you don’t like it in your love life.
In a way, given that the human brain is a surprise minimizer, you’re the best adapted among us. Congratulations if this is why you dislike ChatGPT.
