Gen Z is now officially the only generation to measure lower than their predecessors in intelligence. A neuroscientist says this is because short videos and summarised texts are being increasingly relied on, but this is not how the human brain works.
Covid was forced on them. AI slop wasn’t. Each generation has its share of shit they were handed, and shut they could have easily avoided.
AI slop was absolutely forced on them. Even if they’re not personally balls-deep into ChatGPT or some shit, they’re still stuck navigating an enshittified internet that’s gone from bad to shitstorm in just a few years almost entirely due to AI.
It’d be frustrating as all hell to try to write a research paper or piece together a presentation using today’s internet.
It wasn’t. But to do you.
Counterpoint with proof: yes it was.
Okaybuddy.
…um… would you mind pointing me to the other internet that wasn’t soiled by AI that genZ is using to dodge all the AL slop that would otherwise be forced on them? I’d very much like to use it.
No one forced Gen Z to use the trash to validate themselves with it. No one forced them to use it to do their thinking for them. We all use the same internet. Yet it seems only Z got dumber from it.
Imagine that.
This comes off as you disliking an entire generation more than anything else, not gunna lie.
No, it comes off as finding lack of accountability fucking annoying.
We absolutely do not use the same internet. The internet millennials grew up with in their developmental period no longer exists.
*Gestures broadly towards boomers, who seem to be accelerating their dementia by consuming endless facebook slop reels.
