Everything I’ve heard and experienced being the dad of a teenager is that the kids all hate AI. She abhors it with a passion and her friends are similarly aligned against AI. For literally any use.
Now, college kids, you’re probably right, but she’s not there yet (and my back doesn’t hurt enough yet for that).
I’m just worried about younger children, elementary school and below. They don’t have the critical thinking required to “hate AI”. I fear they may become highly dependent on it. This is of course up to the parents to prevent, but I don’t put a lot of hope in that for the majority of people.
I didn’t specifically make my kids hate AI, but my hate for it rubbed off on them (they’re 12 and 10) and they always call out slop — to a point that it gets kinda annoying, actually, lol. Like, we get it little dudes, the world sucks, but you don’t have to keep reminding me.
Probably not, considering so many people who grew up in a AI-slop free world don’t give give a fuck as it is. Some people just don’t mind slop. AI or otherwise.
Can confirm. My friend’s kid got seriously pissed that she (friend) told her (the kid) something the AI said, even though she followed it up with the right information immediately. Like, seriously pissed.

They’ll likely use AI.

The thing is, they still know the world before slop. Will kids who grow up with slop all around them feel the same?

Good to see. 😄
Then don’t pay those kids.
You meet them, walk through what you want, price, time estimate, write it down, then check back when they’re done.
But I’m guessing that the teachers, if they’re okay with this, would point you towards the more interested kids.
