If Democrats want a winning message, push for AI regulation hard. Unfortunately so many on that side work for the oligarchs too.
Gen Z graduating into a job market where companies want “entry level candidates” with 5 years experience while simultaneously replacing half the entry level work with AI is genuinely brutal timing.
I love getting emails from people who clearly didn’t read what I sent and just had AI write a response for them.
No millennials are back lashing too
Is it really a backlash when no one likes it, needs it or wants it?
The next big politician to push for AI Regulation and Laws that help people have job stability and combat the insane greed we’re seeing on every level of corporate wins the next election easily, instead of what we’re getting now, which is a Robber Baron who’s basically made it impossible to roadblock the rise of AI and is also helping build out data centers up the wazoo for what seems purely mass surveillance reasons.
The only issue I have with this narrative is that it gives credibility for companies to layoff and blame it on AI
I don’t think this is specific to Gen Z…as a millennial, there is a TON of backlash from us (and even Gen x) as well.
I thought GenZ were the ones USING AI to cheat through school?
How can you backlash against something you willing use.
Millennial here, fuck AI
I’m legit going to be a one issue voter this cycle. Any candidate that will regulate these AI ghouls dicks into the dirt has my vote.
Well there was one thing The Matrix got wrong. „All of humanity was united in celebration as we gave birth to AI.“
I had to take an online training class yesterday about cybersecurity and the dangers of AI in the workplace that also seemed to want me to come up with innovative ways to use AI in the workplace.
Oh, and the presenters were AI generated. And this was presented as if it was clever.
Also Instagrams largest user group. If you want change, boycott the products of these big tech companies.
There is not one good thing from AI to regular Joe’s.
AI is a tool for rich biz owners to slap labor in face and automate / cut middle class jobs.
AI is destroying the American dream doe new generations and they all know they UBI or any other assistance as a result will never happen. They are right to push back
*So* much fucking capital is being put into this AI buildout. This country has infrastructure for the 1960’s and this is where the trillions are going
“AI is going to replace you and make me rich” is not exactly a winning message.
Gen X reporting in, same here.
Online backlash doesn’t translate to people actually being vocal to their representatives or actually getting out and doing something about it. Complaining on Reddit won’t do anything, more people need to get out and join the few that are organizing in various ways.
I recently applied to a job that used AI during the recruitment process. Gave the AI my resume, and answered a lot of common sense questions about availability etc. The AI then said to complete the job application via another link to another workday-esque website that was the actual job posting. AI was completely useless for the process except to steal my data. The workday-esque job application portal auto filled the application incorrectly when I re-uploaded my resume a second time, and then crashed when I tried filling it out.
If I see AI acting as a gatekeeper for a job posting, I move on with other candidates now. Candidates that will respect my time and data. Maybe I should move out of the country if it’s all going to be like this, but alas, I am trapped here. Aliens, invade us and make this stop. /jk
The big question is will they stand firm, or just give in and go with the winds of change?
That was pretty much what happened with the Boomers back in the 70’s. Just rolled over and said: “Alright, if I need to abandon my principles and just make money like the world is telling me to, I guess I have to.”
Im a millennial and I cant fkgn stand ai.
Can’t imagine why With not only the mess that is getting any white collar, not even just tech, jobs at the entry level, but if you happen to do that and get a few years in there’s not necessarily much outside of a major city where you’re not expected to run no small chunk of a national or international company’s entire fucking operation, which you know, All these guys making 110k do for the low low cost of looking 65 at 48. Miss me with that shit, I’m growing my business.
Their mistake is thinking its only GenZ
Everyone fucking hates AI.
GenX here. Take your AI tech bro bullshit and shove it.
I think most people across generations oppose it. I would say economic status impacts your stance on AI.
i call bullshit on any claim made for any generation. Gen z cant be easily pinned down. in my experience there is a range of thoughtfulness similar to every other cohort of humans.
How the fuck did we get to this point?
*Gen Z is killing interest in AI*
Millennials: “Look at you, all grown up and killing things just like we used to do according to every article complaining about it.”
I think the ultra wealthy are in for a rude awakening in the next few years. People don’t want AI and they don’t want data centers.
„anxious about their future“
WITHOUT JOBS OR WATER
If the US existed in a vacuum, I’d find limiting or banning AI reasonable. But we don’t live in a vacuum. Other countries without limits or bans will become the kings of software and tech. Every job that can be better done by AI will simply be offshored to another country that doesn’t limit AI. Or, more likely, every large US company will completely move to other countries.
So either the US remains king of AI and we do our best to adapt and figure out the job displacement, or we limit/ban it and other countries become the kings… in which case the job loss situation in the US will be a thousand times worse.
AI backlash is getting louder ***backed by social media misinformation campaigns*** lmao
They’re also using AI daily.
Hey Gen Z…..don’t make the same mistake Millennials did by letting Boomers outvote them for decades.
Vote in more than just presidential elections. Vote in midterms. Vote in local elections. Show up to city council meetings. Volunteer for candidates you actually believe in.
If you don’t consistently participate, you’ll get nothing you want.
Ive never hated AI like gen Z does. I understand their distaste for it but I’ve been of the mindset it’s a tool and it can be used in a good and bad way.
That being said I feel like they’ve been getting worse and worse over time. ChatGPT gives me bad answers more often than it gives me good ones. It’s starting to feel more like a chatbot than anything else.
Pro-silver = anti-ai.
Silver is used 3x in ai datacenters than regular ones.
Silver is scarce enough individuals can pull that lever.
Hit them at the resource level. Legislative has been captured.
As a millennial who graduated into post 2008 economy, was affected by COVID and now AI, I’m impressed with Gen Z. We millennials suck at organizing and making an impact.
If you’re Gen Z read this:
It’s really not. Gen Z is mostly a bunch of braindead social media idiots who have no KSAs. They can’t even coordinate effectively to vote against a bunch of boomers so that entire generation is just holding the fiscal power. Gen Z does not move the needle at all.
AI has gotten well enough in the last two years that it is now better than people in many fields. This only becomes more true two years from now.
The kids who get the fuck off of shitholes like this, put the work in, and learn to adapt to the job market will be safe. Everyone else who just bitches on antiwork/work reform are going to be left in the food bank line. Heed my advice. Come back to social media after you’ve figured life out, not before.
Wait till Data Centers start getting attacked.
