The more young people use AI, the more they hate it

Gen Z widely uses AI chatbots, but many young people are growing hostile to them.

Their concerns include job losses, weaker critical thinking and communication, and academic integrity.

They also cite ethical risks, environmental costs from data centers, and pressure to adopt AI at school and work.

The backlash suggests public acceptance of generative AI may be shakier than tech companies assume, with real implications for policy and workplaces.
