These[0][1] tweets showed up to my timeline recently. I don't know it's just an anti-AI luddite propaganda or not, and I do find people who do definitely not fit below caricaturization, but it seem to resonate with my sentiments and geostationary orbit gist of the matter:
David Holz mentioned in today’s Midjourney office hours that they have more customers over 45 than under 18. He said you’re more likely to run into a 65-year-old woman than a teenager in MidJourney’s community.I think that’s a really interesting point about generative AI. It’s a bunch of old people who are telling you that it’s some mind-blowing invention. Young people are largely uninterested. They think it’s boomer art, not the guaranteed technology of the future. It’s only cool to olds.
The internet was never like that—old people haven’t traditionally driven the culture. Tiktok and YouTube are often associated with younger people. Popular music and movies too. AI seems to only appeal to people who are past their prime. It lacks the It factor for people under 40.
