Old people say this about young people all the time.
- cudgy 2y agoAnd they’re usually right.
- snoman 2y agoThe data (re: the Flynn effect) suggests otherwise.
- cudgy 2y agoThere are explanations to the Flynn effect that go beyond isolated intelligence. How does one isolate intelligence test when society, nutrition, religions, educational systems, and the very IQ standard itself has changed?
- snoman 2y agoI get it, there’s work to be done to flush this out but it’s interesting to me that actual scientific enquiry gets more push back than “but old guy said so.”
- cudgy 2y agoSurely it holds more merit than “young dude with no experience who read about it in latest reddit group / social media app said so”.
- azinman2 2y agoOld people have never entered a world of GenAI before.
