Generation Z has become one of the largest adopters of AI chatbots like ChatGPT since their introduction three years ago, yet polling data reveals this demographic is simultaneously leading a cultural backlash against the technology. Despite tech companies promoting AI as the inevitable future, young people express significant skepticism and negativity toward these tools, even while using them regularly. This contradiction suggests that increased exposure to AI has fostered growing distrust rather than enthusiasm among Gen Z users.
