This is concerning, but I’m also not surprised.
Oh, we’re that fucked, aren’t we..
Putting aside the dangers of this trend to society and culture at large, for a supposedly „disruptive“ technology thats been all over the media for multiple years, I don’t find **<1/3 of young people** to be very impressive to be honest, especially since they’re probably mostly doing it to cheat on their homework with varying degrees of success.
I’d better the number of kids who play videogames, vape or watch youtube daily are much higher than 28%.
This is the basket big tech has put all our money in?
Color me underwhelmed.

Surprised that it’s only 28%.
Great an AI chatbot to glaze a bunch of self entitled pricks that are all currently communicating in an asinine proto language i wouldn’t wipe my asshole with.
it wouldn’t be so worrying except these people are going to be what the founding fathers described as an „informed electorate“
They’re becoming practically built into search engines, so I’m surprised the number isn’t higher.
Hook young kids on this brain rot
Kill significant amounts of people by taking away healthcare and vaccines
Profit
Idk why so many people jumped on the boat to feel the need to use it. I’m 30 and grew up with the internet when you actually had to look for the right answer. Now oekome take AI and CHATGPT answers are face value even though they can be wrong quite a bit. There are times when it can’t even spit back basic wiki info correctly.
They trust it with secrets and don’t feel judged. This is obviously attractive when those two things aren’t available with surrounding friends, family, therapists, and strangers.
28% is too low, the teens are just lying to these pollsters
Here’s the thing: this includes everything from „hey chatgpt whats the average weight of an elephant“ to more problematic, parasocial daily use or homework offloading.
I personally think this is positive news, because even though AI has been relentlessly pushed for 3 years as this big mandatory paradigms shifting tech, 72% of teens still don’t use it every day. And historically young people are the first to adopt real lasting trends so…
Some would say „adaptables“. Some others “ manipulables“.
100% my daughter is part of that. I’m actually proud of her burgeoning proficiency.
AI is only going to become more and more integrated into every aspect of our life, and when used appropriately will greatly raise the quality of life for the majority of people. Adapt or die

Social anxiety is also at a all time high as well, financial instability, unemployment, foreign competition puts strain on a population.
Now we know why Skynet is like ‚Yea, these fuckers need to die‘
Theyre doing all their homework on it duh. The new generation will be dumb as hell.
GPT is becoming just the new Google
It’s hard to see any future at this point where this isn’t entirely normalized. Gen Alpha’s gonna look at the early anti-AI sentiment of the 2020’s like we look at Y2K.
I use an LLM every day, but not as a chat bot. It’s my development tool, and I actively berate it every day.
To be fair, it sarcastically quotes me when things don’t go as it expected, so it deserves every bit of vitriol it gets from me.
If the AI apocalypse happens – my bad. But Claude shouldn’t have been so stupid.
Alternative title: 72% of teens aren’t using chat bots that often if at all according to a new poll.
My neighbor’s 21 year old kid uses AI for literally everything. She is terrified to drive. She needs GPS to get to the school she goes to. It is TWO MILES AWAY.
She graduated high school and you could ask her questions about history or science or anything that kids in high used to *learn*. She can’t tell you. They aren’t **learning**… They are getting the answers that they need from AI and that’s it
Recently, a middle school English teacher told me that he was changing professions in part because when he gave his students an assignment to write a short page about *their opinion* on a public event, he walked around the room and found them using ChatGPT To create **their own opinions**. **He had been reprimanded twicd for correcting a student’s spelling. HE IS AN ENGLISH TEACHER. He was told ‚They’ll have AI for that.’**
This isn’t a case of the older generation complaining about the new like every single generation has throughout history….
These kids are not thinking, they have not been taught critical thinking. They aren’t learning things.They don’t know how to read body language or look at you in the eye. The very slightest correction and the okayboomer you and go off crying about how mean people are. They’d have died having to take the correction we did.
And honestly you can’t really blame them for this stuff because we’ve allowed it to happen.
my problem with this study is it just covers blunt overall usage not the use cases
like how many % of those teens are using it for companionship? what about doing schoolwork for them? or just fucking with the ai?
One: don’t trust polls. Two: most of those teenagers might use it as something funny. A toy, or joke. Most teenage ai use boils down to “What would Timmy Johnson look like as a Shiba Inu?” anyway.
we had a no-network generation
also we had an internet generation
also we had a cellphone / mobile generation
and now we also have a full ia generation
all living in the same years, the same problems but all with differents ways to interact with technology and problems, amazing world
first time in the human history than 4 differents main tool mindset live toghether
Just like hooking kids on cigarettes/nicotine, you gotta get em when they’re young to addict them for life.
Accelerated Idiocy.
Kids nowadays struggle with in person socializing. Most of their interaction happens through their phones, where a chat bot cannot reject you. Many teenagers do not know how to walk up to a stranger and start a conversation, even when adults model that behavior for them. Yet they have no problem talking to strangers in games or on Discord. And when even that feels hard, they turn to chat bots instead.
As a millennial, I’m certain my gen will be the last ones to know how to fix anything or use our brains to logic out an answer to a question. :/
I’m so glad I grew up in the 80’s/90’s. Good luck to the youth of today growing up in this digital hellscape.
Idk how, they are super boring to talk to.
So 72% don’t.
Proving, once again, that “teenage” is the stupidest age.
And you wonder why these companies are spending BILLIONS to be in first place. This new gen literally cannot get enough of this shit. Chatbots daily?! I can’t even imagine.
OK, now time for this sub to have the internal struggle of explaining how everyone hates AI and it’s all a scam while it’s extremely popular and widely used….
I assume many people will be changing their stories to „I never said it wasn’t popular!“ Yes you did, that was your whole point for a year.
The same thing happened when AI went from being comedically terrible at making pictures to being fully capable of cranking out unquestionably photo-real stuff. „I never said it looked bad!“ Yes you did, that was your whole point for a year.
It’s OK, you can just admit you „hate AI“ because when you say so you get upvotes. For a long while, when the bot farms were going, you’d net an easy thousand. The well has dried up now, so you can just stop.
That’s truly disturbing
Rookie numbers
Today I asked for some lyrics interpretation and while I think it got it mostly accurate, it was quoting lines that were not in the song.
It’s fucking useless most of the time.
My teen told me they used ChatGPT to quiz them on material for a test tomorrow. Honestly this is pretty awesome.
It’s 100% higher than that when everybody’s phones had it rolled out as a replacement for assistant/search.
One great promise that AI holds out is that properly aligned it could become a psychiatrist for each and every one of us. In that role it could help us all reach our maximum potential as individuals and as a species.
Has any model trained on the psychological labyrinth of the human mind?
I’m surprised it’s not higher. I use AI chatbots every day and I’m not a teen
