Why young people hate AI — and why one researcher calls opposition doomed
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-10-03
In a discussion thread, teortaxesTex observes that young people dislike AI far more than expected — the case against it is simple: it will eat the entire future and render them obsolete. Still, he argues opposition is doomed: with nearly infinite labor on tap, riding the wave is a historical inevitability. He adds that zoomers and alphas are hypersocial, and platforms flooded with human-level bots will make building a genuine following nearly impossible.
