So, in my social media bubble, I've repeatedly had people my age say young people don't like Ai. And, in these stories, the young people in question typically give appealing-to-millennials stories about not using Ai. But here's a survey from Pew that's likely underestimating since it's 6 months old.
Most interesting is the near 50% use for fun! So you can't say it's just because they're forced to use it.
Now it could be the people in my bubble just have particularly enlightened kids who also always tell the truth, but one suspects that at least some people are getting teens to tell them exactly what they'd like to hear.
Mostly I find this funny, but given the relatively high incidence of use for emotional support, honest conversation would probably be preferable.
Quality of education is my guess. More money typically gets you a better education, and a better ability to smell bullshit. The less educated get a plausible answer, and don't have the background to challenge it.
@lxskllr @ZachWeinersmith having seen all the stupid shit monied people do I call BS on the "better ability to smell BS" claim.
Another explanation is that parents in higher income households on average have more free time to help out with their kids homework, so less need to turn to chatbots.

LLMs then are the MacDonald's of information resources. Cheap, quick and kinda crappy.
