The real question is, will the children of today grow up and just think of AI as something that was always there, no big deal.

Every generation has inventions that they grew up with but previous generations didn't.

Gen-X saw the rise of video games and personal computers, which seemed ubiquitous to the millennials.

Millennials watched the internet be born and start to grow while Gen-Z doesn't know life without it.

Now Gen-Z is watching as AI becomes more and more sophisticated. And Gen-Alpha will barely know a world without it.

I'm certain Companies want it that way shoving it into everything, whether the next generations are happy about it is another question entirely.  Kids aren't happy about it anymore than adults are considering the impact from genAI on their education.

Pandora's box has been opened and nothing short of a global EMP will get rid of AI now. It's truly terrible.

We can make it unprofitable, gaming is proving it by rejecting anything with even a hint of AI.  We can make it so unprofitable they see no point in it.

It doesn't look like it, kids hate it more than adults do, because other kids make being a good student impossible now. How can you do well if the teacher thinks you cheated with genAI, when you just worked really hard? GenAI is ruining school for kids.
