Almost every fifth resident of Kirov regrets trusting artificial intelligence.

      Believing in machines when it comes to matters of the heart, health, and wallet is a practice that has already firmly established itself in Kirov. According to a survey, 43% of economically active city residents with experience using neural networks have at least once sought advice from AI on personal issues. However, the flip side of this technological trust is that 18% of respondents regretted following the machine's recommendations.

      The gender disparity was significant. Among women who turned to neural networks, 23% admitted that they regretted heeding the "smart" suggestion. Men, in general, are more likely to ignore AI advice, but the study does not provide exact data on the proportion of regretful men.

      Age and income also dictate their own rules. In the group under 35, 65% of respondents sought personal recommendations from artificial intelligence — the highest figure. Among Kirov residents over 45, only 32% did the same. As for income level, among residents earning up to 100,000 rubles, the proportion seeking AI advice is higher (58%) than among those earning from 150,000 (41%).

      Interestingly, overall, 6 out of 10 respondents (60%) still follow the advice received from the neural network. At the same time, 42% do not feel regret, while 25% prefer to ignore machine suggestions. Another 14% found it difficult to assess the applicability of the recommendations, most often because they do not take them seriously.

      The range of personal inquiries is incredibly broad. Most often, AI acts as a medical consultant: planning doctor visits, interpreting test results, clarifying treatment methods. But the neural network is also asked about choosing a haircut, motor oil, weight loss, and ways to refuse an annoying admirer. Serious topics also arise — professional development or strategies for reducing credit burden.
