Just in: Current trends indicate that in three years there will be no teenage pregnancies in Gen Z
The kids are alright
great sentiment!
…but the youngest of Gen Z is 20+ years old… definitely no longer kids.
let’s please not make the same mistake as with millennials?
edit: i got the range wrong; it’s 15 years (~2012), not 10 (2007)…
I am old enough that people in their early 20s still seem like kids to me ;p But I hear what you’re saying
The youngest gen z is ~13 and the oldest is ~28 so definitely some kids still there; majority adults, although if the whole ‘brain not mature until ~25’ metric is used then that’s a minority.
damn, it goes on way longer than i thought;
i thought it’s about 10 years, but it’s actually 15…
I prefer the term AI luddites
He says with seething jealousy.
My teen has already been through the hype cycle. Was super into chatbots…until they were not. My preteen has never been even tempted, thought it was stupid from the get-go. From the mouth of babes…!
You remind me of the babe
Comparing the Anti-LLM and LIM movement to veganism is definitely something. Either way, age prohibition is not a good idea; rather, educating people about how to responsibly use technology is.
Both the AI and meat industries are very harmful to the environment.
EDIT: Since people don’t seem to believe me:
Cows emit an average of 220lbs of methane per year, which is about 28x as potent a greenhouse gas as CO2 (https://www.ucdavis.edu/food/news/making-cattle-more-sustainable).
According to the EPA (https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/greenhouse-gas-emissions-typical-passenger-vehicle), the average car emits about 4.6metric tons of CO2 per year.
(220lbs methane x 28) x 0.00045 t/lb = 2.772 metric tons of CO2.
Basically, 2 cows have more greenhouse effect than the average American car. And that doesn’t even account for the deforestation caused by cattle ranching (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378021000595)
Look, I hate AI too. I’m not saying one is worse than the other (that’s probably very hard to determine) but don’t kid yourself about the effect of meat on the environment.
Sure, but we don’t call renewable energy “vegan energy”
It was done in order to smear people not using AI the same, as the caricature of some vegans. You know, the people equating eating meat with cannibalism and murder. I also wouldn’t been surprised if the journalists used terms like “woke anti-AI”, or went with the headline “Gen Z cancel culture is hitting AI very hard”.
That was my nickname in high school.
At least one has a purpose, which is nutrition.
It’s entirely intentional, meant to label AI shills as the “normal” people and anti-AI as a fringe group, along with drawing the same negativity that veganism for some reason has among so many people in the US.
Abstainer would do a lot better of a job of giving credence to people actively avoiding AI usage due to ethical or environmental reasons; the sad reality of using either Luddite or Vegan to describe these people is due to the active negative messaging that people wanting to push unregulated technological change have charged these words with. Despite the negative connotation that Luddite has been charged with; I still use it to refer to myself as a Luddite (who is against unethical technological advancement), must like those who would also abstain from AI Usage in work or personal life settings.
As it’s potential to cause harm is great; there are still cases people killing themselves ChatGPT Killed Again-Four more Dead, AI-Induced Psychosis for example. Healthy technological advancement is necessary for the benefit of all human beings, however, what we are seeing with “AI” isn’t following that model. It’s good that people are standing against AI, since nothing will change unless people fight against Silicon Valley’s agenda.
Good to see the kids still have some hope.
I’d rather be AI vegan than AI delusional.
“turning against”
Millennial here I avoid AI like the plauge
“thinking vegans want ypu to use ai more often”
If that term catches on I might start using AI …
remember to sear your LLM for 5 min on each side to really lock in the tokenization…
