yknow, my older gen z friends say there is a sharp divide between older and younger of their generation. we came to the conclusion that it is a culmination of many things but primarily the dismantling of the education system and focus on standardized testing, and the reliance on smart devices and dependence on social media. modern parents are more hands off as a rule, largely to make up for overbearing parents or abusive childhoods, and because of that the favoring of devices to aid in parenting is an issue. my friend told me that younger gen z really struggles academically and socially, and that they're prone to emotional instability when challenged. additionally, i have seen several teachers in videos discussing what teaching is like nowadays and it honestly sounds like a nightmare merely dealing with students alone. some of these children can read the words in front of them but not connect them logically. it's as if they know what the shapes mean without meaning. they know how to pronounce them and to read them. what the absolute hell is that? lol
there's other crazy shit but the point is even gen z is worried about gen z and younger. they're more far-right, more intolerant, more racist, more queerphobic.. it sucks. they are dumber and get their information and entertainment from an echo chamber. it's worse the younger you go according to teachers. idk what the hell we're going to do.
They made thinking machines so we wouldn't have to think for ourselves. What you're describing is the natural outcome of that. AI is only making this worse. The brains of children go unused as they merely sway in the winds created by AI-generated online influencers. AI says jump, the kids ask how high. Just accept it and eat your tidepod or whatever the new fad is... :/ We who see are deemed too woke, too old, and bothersome to listen to, like the generations before who tried to teach us what they knew.
