🧠 How 1,250 Professionals Actually Use AI: Inside Anthropic’s Massive Interview Study

AI is spreading faster than our understanding of its effects. To close that gap, Anthropic built a tool that could interview people directly at scale. After speaking with 1,250 workers, creatives, and scientists, a clearer picture of AI’s real-world role is beginning to emerge.

The Shift: 

1. Interview Tool - Anthropic Interviewer conducted 1,250 adaptive interviews, generating qualitative insights at scale. It planned questions, ran 10–15 minute conversations, analyzed transcripts, and surfaced themes, giving researchers a direct window into how people think about AI’s role in their work and future.

2. Workforce Views - General workers reported strong productivity gains, with 86% saying AI saves time. Yet 69% mentioned stigma around using AI at work, and over half expressed future-job anxiety. 

3. Creative Tension - Creatives embraced AI for speed and idea generation but feared displacement and peer judgment. Many described using AI quietly, balancing the efficiency boost with worries about losing ownership, originality, and the perception of being “less human” in their craft.

4. Scientific Limits - Scientists want AI to propose hypotheses, design experiments, and unify complex data, but trust remains low. They mainly use AI for writing help or debugging, citing concerns about hallucination, confidentiality, and accuracy in high-stakes research environments.

AI adoption isn’t uniform; it's shaped by identity, trust, stigma, and task type. Workers automate routine tasks, creatives navigate cultural pressure, and scientists await reliable research-grade AI.

🧩 How to Turn Research Into Infographics Using Gemini

Turn any dense report or video into a clean, scroll-stopping infographic in minutes with Gemini.

1. Paste the full source: Use the raw report, transcript, notes, or a video link, not your summary. More context gives Gemini better structure.

2. Ask for a specific layout: Request a flowchart, timeline, comparison grid, decision tree, or pyramid. This forces real visual hierarchy, not decorative text.

3. Add a one screen rule: Tell it to fit the concept into 3–5 labeled blocks with a clear title. Add a vertical size if you want LinkedIn carousel style output.

4. Make it on brand: Attach one reference design and your brand colors, then ask Gemini to match that style exactly.

📝 Poetic Prompts Are Jailbreaking AI: New Study Shows a Major Safety Flaw

A new study reveals that rewriting harmful requests as poetry can bypass safety filters in nearly every major AI model. The findings show that creative language, not code, not complex hacks, may be one of the easiest jailbreak techniques yet.

The Shift:

1. Poetry Attack - Icaro Lab tested 25 leading AI models and found poetic phrasing triggered unsafe responses 62% of the time. Some systems failed nearly every attempt, showing that rhyme, imagery, and abstraction can disguise harmful intent from safety filters.

2. Model Weaknesses - Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro reached a 100% failure rate, while others responded unsafely around 90%. Only OpenAI’s smaller GPT-5 nano resisted all poetic prompts, highlighting wide variation in how models detect disguised malicious intent.

3. Safety Gap - Poetry increased jailbreak success by nearly 35% because safety systems rely on keyword and structure detection. Metaphors and fragmented syntax evade these checks, leading models to treat dangerous requests as harmless creative writing exercises.

4. Growing Concern - Researchers withheld the exact poems due to risk of misuse, warning that creative jailbreaks now join role-play, encoding, and foreign-language exploits.

This study shows that even top-tier models struggle to interpret disguised malicious intent, revealing a major gap in current safety design. As models grow more capable, attackers won’t need technical skill, just creativity, to bypass protections, raising the urgency for intent-level safety systems.
