"The percentage of respondents ages 14 to 29 who said they felt hopeful about A.I. declined sharply since last year, down to 18 percent from 27.

Young adults’ excitement about artificial intelligence dropped, too, and nearly a third of respondents indicated that the technology made them feel angry."

That's rough.

@stefan My teenage daughter told me recently that when her teacher tries to click an "AI summary" of something, her whole class yells at the teacher not to do it.

@shannonkay Great! My kid tells me the same! Their whole class is like that. They tell their teachers that thex don't want to see that stuff. They also don't eat at or buy from places that have generated images on the menu/advertising, and they are very much against generated music.
