I guess nowadays it’s “UNC” huh?
But yeah. Judging by people I know and co workers , no one will be using search in a couple years. Gonna be a bad time.
Also I’m curious how many folks on this instance are even under 35! They may not have ever experienced non corporate internet …
The most AI-pilled people I know tend to be older, honestly.
Let’s not “blame the kids” for problems they have no responsibility in creating.
If they’re using AI services and big corporate social media all day, it’s because that’s the world they were sucked into by the Fuckerbergs of the world.
Rather than just complain about it, let’s do our best to build & encourage tools, services, and marketing campaigns that appeal to Gen Z and help them discover they don’t have to accept the slop being shoved in their face.
I’m not just talking out of my hat here. I’ve been tracking this stuff, and here’s yet another indication that (unlike the vast majority of other tech shifts/hype cycles), young people are NOT convinced the AI age is glorious. https://news.gallup.com/poll/708224/gen-adoption-steady-skepticism-climbs.aspx
There’s some hope!
good. maybe the kids will be alright.
Eh. I work at a university with a couple of student employees and according to them a significant number of their peers run basically every through they have through AI. Like you ask someone their opinion on something and they start clacking into Chat GPT for the answer.
Ive seen this. Thats pretty bad.
Well, much like redhat magas, all the easier to spot the dipshits of the world early on I guess.
will be fascinating to watch them crash out when the ai bubble pops and they have to start prioritizing their use of the gtp etc products
It’s a bit of a bathtub IMO. High at each end and lower in the middle.
Certainly agree! But outside of a few interns a year that I can try to guide the right way, what am I gonna do? Hold a seminar to teach people who to be tech literate in the modern world ? No one would attend…
Really, its all up to the parents. And from parents ive seen…its not looking good.
We would need a billion dollar marketing campaign to educate people away from the zuccs and muskys.
Lots and lots of young people definitely default to AI as their internet search.
I don’t know what that means. Virtually everyone who uses a “search engine” uses Google which now pushes AI Overviews hard. So whether it’s Google or ChatGPT… 🤷🏻♂️
