Older Gen Z which are essentially baby Millennials, debatable. From what I hear, college today has become a hellscape.
Teens & preteens (Gen Alpha), totally different story. AI slop is cringe. Eww. Possibly appreciated for its entertainment value, especially in directed roleplay (aka Character.ai), but never as “art”.
The kids are alright. And this Jacob dude’s full of it.
As a current college CS student, idk about art but all my classmates openly use chatgpt for math and programming assignments.
You are also kinda considered stupid/naive if you don’t use it even worse.
On the good side my friends did just recently start complaining about AI interviews.
Is this true, children? Do you love AI slop?
No…
Hey, 28 year olds, you like that slop don’t ya, piggies.
Old people love AI images too for no reason whatsoever.
Well I have been trying to teach kids why AI is bad but the force is strong with their peers. They have been getting it but seem to still stray into the AI.
They’re young enough to not realize how much they are going to lose through this capitulation.
That true, gen z?
Hello Gen Z here no the fuck I don’t. I do ultimately think AI has some tiny modicum of value but absolutely is not worth the cost. Also fuck AI generated content specifically I could rant about that for ages. Also I really despise AI for making search engines worse. It now takes me multiple searches to find what I actually want and sometimes I have to prompt an llm just to find an article that’s helpful. Hell Reddit is the only useful place and that’s a hellscape of bots, nuked comments because of api protests and power hungry mods. So no I don’t like AI particularly much at all but especially not generative content.
From what I see yeah they do. They(generally) might say they dont but they watch ai generated videos, ai generated thumbnails, ai generated ads, ai content creators all without complaint or change in behaviour. Instagram reels and tiktok is full of AI shit.
There is like 200 reiterations of “american presidents playing Minecraft AI voice over meme.”
