    Is it that bad? I see there are people giving full access to AI but I always thought it wasn’t so much to refer to it as “a generation”.

      It’s very much not a generational thing. More gen alpha might use AI because they’re young and keep up with trends more, but there’s still plenty that denounce it and plenty of boomers who accept it.

        That’s not entirely true. There are cases where gen alpha students revolted against AI usage. One of the incidents was about the usage of Chromebooks which forced students to use AI - bottom line is, people where upset.

          Literally didn’t read the rest of my sentence.

          there’s still plenty that denounce it

          You’re arguing my point for me that it’s not a generational thing

            Treat it as an accompanying argument rather than arguing a point for your sake. Its just a different perspective exceplifying the point by focusing on the impacted group.

    There’s no need to turn everything into a genration war. Computer literacy and a sense for maintaining privacy comes and goes with different groups of people depending on their upbringing. The ones who cared about their privacy to the point that they would refuse cookies on every site are definitely not the ones who roll over and let the AI agents access all of their data. A lack of good education and deliberate influence of the advertisement and tech industry has led us to this point and snarky flamebait on twitter isn’t getting us anywhere.

      I agree. Op reasoning is flawed in many ways: both the relation to generations, and the assumption that people who do x are destined to do y.

      The most infuriating part of this statement is the supposed relation to generations. It is yet another discriminatory behaviour which usually goes under the radar. Just like it happens within sexism, op has needlessly correlated things to age.
