One thing I've learned is to look at teenagers/college students for tech trends.
Some things I learned recently:
* Young people don't use computers. They are masterful at using their phones and iPads to do real work. There is a joke that millennials at work have to teach young GenZs how to use a computer like they do for boomers.
* Young people don't watch Netflix/Youtube much at all. They mostly only consume short videos.
* Young people are absolutely the biggest users of LLMs. They aren't AI skeptics.

Who cares if AI was used to write a paper if the students can demonstrate they have learned the knowledge and that the facts they presented are accurate?

- aurareturn 1y agoI've been working with some early 20s Gen Zs. None of them watch Youtube. They're on Tiktok/IG Reels all day. They can't put it down. In fact, it's kind of hard to have a conversation with them because they're always on their phones.
