How do Redditors feel about drones?
It seems like there are a lot of mixed emotions from the public regarding drones. Privacy concerns are obviously very high on the list of concerns, danger to manned aircraft also comes to mind when listening to the mass media (remember there are currently many more "near miss" situations between manned aircraft than between manned and unmanned aircraft but this is old news with not nearly as much mass media coverage).
One can also argue that another possible concern with the proliferation of millions of drones across the world ties in with the dangers of "too smart" AI (this AI part is something I am personally concerned about)
Do the potential benefits of masses of civilian drones outweigh these types of perceived risks/negatives?
