Don’t discount older Gen X. They’re some of the best Engineers. Some of them built the technology the rest of us learned on.

No, there is a good basis for this. It’s not their fault, the technology they learned to use didn’t involve troubleshooting or managing the system. There will always be some who understand, but most Gen X and Y are competent on computers. The same cannot be said for Zoomers.

It’s not, man. If you know how to use google, you know how to get the majority of the benefit from AI tools. At higher levels there’s some light additional usage, but the technology is still struggling there.

I have a lot of empathy for Zoomers and do not think they’re universally bad at “things”, but they are bad with technology as a cohort. That’s not up for debate. They grew up with apps they didn’t have to open the hood for. Anyone using AI without a foundational understanding of this stuff is a recipe for disaster.

That’s a terrible bar for who is tech savy. I can guarantee Zoomers, on average, are far less competent with technology. It’s not their fault they grew up with apps and iPhones.

I just want to clarity- You’re cheering on the potential death of a newborn child?
