God, the number of people here who don't know what "more likely" means is insane. Just because you aren't trans, enby or disabled doesn't mean the study is bullshit because you hate AI. It means that if you walk up to a random person and ask them about AI, they're more likely to hate it if they exist in one of those groups.

Secondly, studies like this have value because they can clue people into issues that a community is having. If everyone is neutral about a thing, except for disabled people (who hate it), then maybe that means that the thing is having a disproportionately negative impact on disabled people. Studies like this are not unlike saying "hey, there's smoke over there, there might be a fire."
