It's very easy to believe that young people hate AI CEOs, but following the links it's clear to me that I'm either extremely out of touch or that poll is garbage. The same poll says 74% of respondents ages 18-34 placed a bet in a prediction market (Kalshi or Polymarket) in the past thirty days.

There's no way 74% even have accounts, right?

That's because the survey is an ad.

Disclosure: CNBC and Kalshi have a commercial relationship that includes customer acquisition and a minority investment.

Of course no link yo the survey or methodology was provided, but I would bet money the survey was administered using Kalshi users, possibly through the site or app itself.
