Why does Gen Z hate AI?

Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

Young people have been told their jobs are going away. It might not be that they're scared. They feel like they've been double-crossed that Google and Eric Schmidt representing Google has bad intent. They know that the horses left the barn and they understand that there just aren't going to be the number of jobs for them. Suddenly they're trying to get an apartment, pay for their own healthcare.

This really just highlights the the gap between business excitement about AI and the average consumer. A lot of them did their degrees in the age of chat. These people have had ChatGPT for two years. They've been using it. They understand it really well, I think.
