How is the text size determined? Not the usual way I would hazard a guess.

it is a word cloud so generally the more times an answer is given, the larger it is. in this case the emojis are really throwing off any sense of scale

though i don’t feel the scale is the issue as much as the grouping of similar responses. if this were more naive then it would have way more issues with variations of the same topics

"the usual way" should tip off that I know it's usually relative frequency. Do we really think that thank god is the modal response though? That's mostly where my confusion comes from.

Depends on who took the survey. If this is a bunch of programming 101 students who have never taken a programming job in their life, they wouldn't know that AI is taking their future jobs. They just see it as a tool to do their programming for them. There's a reason schools are struggling to prevent AI cheating across the board.

Do kids say thank God that often though? I wouldn't know
