A new Pew Research study just dropped — and let's just say it lowkey confirms what a lot of us have been feeling: Americans are getting tired of AI barging into their personal lives.

According to the survey, 50% of Americans said they’re more concerned than excited about AI in their daily routines. That’s not just casual skepticism — that’s half the country side-eyeing the tech that’s supposed to be “helping” us.

And the trend is climbing: in 2021, only 37% felt this way, but now it’s jumped significantly (even after dipping slightly from 2023’s 52%).

So what’s driving this shift?

It’s not that people hate AI across the board. Most are cool with it crunching data, predicting weather, or helping researchers tackle diseases. But when it comes to personal spaces — that’s where the line gets drawn.

Take dating, for example:

Basically, no one’s begging for a robot wingman.

And it’s not just dating:

Then there’s misinformation. About 18% of Americans flagged it as their top worry — second only to fears about AI eroding creativity and human connection. On top of that, 53% admit they can’t confidently tell AI-generated content from the real thing. And honestly, with how fast AI images, voices, and videos are evolving… who can blame them?

Now here's a twist you probably didn’t expect: younger Americans are actually more worried about AI than older ones.

According to Pew, 57% of adults under 30 are extremely concerned that AI could erode human abilities, compared to 46% of those over 65. Usually, it’s the older crowd that’s cautious about new tech, but with AI, the script has flipped.

Interestingly, this survey doesn't fully align with claims from some AI companies. While certain firms suggest younger people are more comfortable with AI in personal spaces—like therapy, dating apps, and religious advice—the public's concerns seem to tell a different story.

So who’s right? Maybe both. Maybe neither. As the saying goes, one person’s trash is another person’s treasure.

So let’s throw it to you: if you had to pick, where would you be okay with AI stepping in?

 A) Big-picture science + data problems
B) Personal life stuff (dating, therapy, advice)
C) Nowhere at all

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

It’s Meta’s turn y’all — and this time, they actually brought some heat.

Their big reveal? A pair of Ray-Ban smart glasses that look totally normal… until you realize they’ve got a tiny display tucked inside the lens. 

They’re called the Meta Ray-Ban Display, and the pitch is simple: instead of pulling out your phone for every little thing — notifications, directions, translations, social updates — the glasses beam it all straight into your right lens. 

But honestly? The glasses aren’t even the wildest part. That crown goes to the Neural Band — a sleek wristband that looks like a Fitbit, but instead of measuring steps, it uses electromyography to read the tiny electrical signals your brain sends to your hand so you can scroll, tap, and control apps just by moving your fingers in subtle ways.

Total sci-fi vibes, right?

Meta says it lasts 18 hours, is water resistant, and is comfy enough to wear all day without thinking about it..

Of course, all this comes at a price: $799. The glasses hit shelves on September 30, almost exactly a year after Meta teased its futuristic Orion AR prototype — which looked cooler, but was nowhere near ready to sell.

And that’s the trade-off: Orion was the dream. Ray-Ban Display is the reality.

But beyond the display and Neural Band, you’re also getting an AI assistant, cameras, microphones, and discreet speakers tucked near your ears. Basically, it’s Meta’s attempt to cram pieces of your smartphone into something you already wear.

And get this: beneath the flashy features, there’s a bigger play: Meta wants its own platform. 

After years of living inside Apple and Google’s ecosystems, this is their shot to finally control the hardware.

And speaking of Apple and Google — both are cooking up their own smart glasses. When those drop, they’ll slot seamlessly into the iPhone and Android ecosystems  — an advantage Meta doesn’t have. That’s why Zuck & Co. are sprinting ahead, hoping to hook early adopters before the giants move in.

So, is it worth it?

Well, if you’re into cutting-edge toys, the idea of checking messages through your shades and controlling apps with finger twitches might feel worth it. But if you’re holding out for the true AR revolution — this might feel more like a teaser than the main event.
