Been thinking about this generational flip with AI — it's wild.
Usually the young crowd eats up new tech like candy. Crypto? Kids were all in while boomers screamed scam. Internet in the 90s? Same story.
But AI hits different. You've got teenagers and college kids way more skeptical than the 40-year-olds rushing to automate everything.
Maybe it's because older folks see AI as a productivity tool — make my job easier, write my emails, whatever. But younger people? They're watching AI potentially eat their entire career path before they even start. The romance is gone when the thing replacing you isn't even 10 years old yet.
Or maybe it's simpler — when you grow up with tech, you see through the hype faster. You know what breaks, what's oversold, what's just repackaged old ideas.
Either way, something shifted. And that shift says more about where we're headed than any white paper ever could.
