I've seen some shift among the tech illiterate in my immediate vicinity, but most are still in the "I got nothing to hide" category of clueless twits.

    Funnily enough my two kids have expressed hatred of AI. It's mainly people around my age or higher that can't let any sort of convenience go even if shown the dangers.

    Otherwise I'm just "scaremongering".

    My 14yo hates the current AI but says most peers are using it and can't understand how to write an essay or such without it.

    I think only some of the kids are alright. Many, if not most, are in trouble.

    Fair. I said that out of hope. I'm young. Just 24. But I've always been progressive. I want younger people smarter, and not dumber than me, LOL.

    I hear this nightmare stories of kids lacking basic comprehension skills. AI should be severely limited in educational settings, though not outright banned, as it can supplement learning when used appropriately.

    The problem is that everyone's internet experience is very different these days. Your friends might be boring and actually have nothing in their lives that need compartmentalized/obfuscated. It's unlikely but not impossible.

    The easiest way to demonstrate the problem would be when they show you something on an unprotected device you note the ads and give them shit for it. Those ads are likely targeted, and so your jabs would be targeted and personal too. Then point out that those ads are tied to THEM. Just ask every time, "have you been looking at X? Gross dude." It doesn't matter what it is. It's the point that they are uncomfortable with your guess and it's an opening to explain that, yeah it's not just those ads buddy.
