@VeeRat They're trying to make converts because it validates their own use of the tools, which they feel insecure about. It's a quasi-religious evangelical impulse.

@cstross @VeeRat The thing I have seen the most-of is Gen Z and Alpha basically pretending to use AI to make Gamm-pa Boomer Manager happy, but really just learning the ropes and making the connections with the C-Suite while also playing nice with all the Xennials who actually Do Shit.

The result is when the Boomers FINALLY retire... the youngin's will probably be given the keys and will keep the Xennials who don't suck.

Much like Intergenerational wealth advice of "Leave it to the grandkids"

@cstross @VeeRat

Will the "Xennials who do suck" include a bunch of toadies who couldn't even get AI to do things for them, a LOT of middle management feeling like they are living in a Dilbert Strip... as well as the creepy nepotism hire who knows where the body(ies) are buried?

Yeeep.
