Why do boomers hate all technology, but love AI?

Makes no sense
>>
>>542204437
They don’t
>>
>>542204437
Because AI makes them feel as if they finally can use technology well.
>AI replaces search, which boomers struggle to use well
>AI replaces paint, GIMP, photoshop, which boomers struggle to use well
Those are probably the main two. Although some boomers probably also just like the idea of American (or insert your country here if they believe in local AI dominance) AI Imperial Future dreams.

Hitting early memories watching the television set back in the 50s. It's new and exciting
>>
>>542204535
Ironically this is also why some younger people like it. People became less skilled with computers after a certain point. Search is particularly difficult for people. And it's not just because search became degraded...and it's not primarily because of this either.
>>
huh boomers hate AI more than any other group.
>>
>>542204619
That's Millenials
>>
>>542204668
I was talking about people.
>>
>>542204437
it's the only tech that thinks instead of you.
>>
>>542204535
This.
It's the boomers' digital swiss knife, a do-all tool that just gets shit done for them so they don't have to bother.
And they get to brag about 'using mah latest edge tech' while using something that makes them dumber
>>
>>542204437
Because they're narcissistic and solipsistic, and LLMs will tell them how smart and clever they are which make their micro-dicks hard.
>>
>>542204437
They love being able to get output without working/thinking to produce it.
>>
>>542204535
Yeah also they're given a clear-cut black and white answer, boomers hate nuance.

Also spending time with old people I realized they don't want to experiment with technology because they fear making mistakes, so they never learn.
Some are too proud to allow themselves to make mistakes, but also the technology of their times required more expertise to tinker on so whenever you touched something you shouldn't touch it fucked it up.

Zoomers on the other end I think are overwhelmed by the amount of things they can modify and use so they get choice paralysis
>>
My boomer mom asked ChatGPT to answer a nasty text my sister sent to her. She asked me to proof read it. It was filled with em dashes a thing my mother never uses as a European immigrant. I told her to remove those because my sister is a teacher and probably has a good idea for AI messages. My mom got mad and said AI didn't write it. What a weird thing to lie about
>>
>>542207031
It's fucking pathetic when they use the term "luddite" when they don't even know how to change their tv settings
>>
>>542204437
The kids they kicked out at 18 cut all contact and most of their peers are dead so AI chatbots give them someone to talk to. Plus they're programmed to agree with you so they're the perfect yes-men to entertain their senile delusions.
>>
>>542204437
They can boss it around and it won't talk back
>>
>>542204437
Because they wont be around for it AND it will destroy the country, AND destroy the world by bringing about the mark of the beast. Its a no brainer for the boom booms. Something they can use to antagonize the world after theyre long gone? Sign them up!
>>
>>542204437
they love jews and jeets
>>
>>542204535
This. My father used to hate technology but Fox started pushing AI on all the boomers and suddenly he wants to help with every little problem. So fine I'll tell him what I'm working on and he'll excitedly hustle back to his computer to ask gemini then emerge back a couple minutes later to proudly deliver his newfound wisdom. It's cute really, he's like a kid again.

Also the other day he asked me if I knew about the app store. Says there's a million apps on there! Can you believe it?

They probably think theirs a tiny team of gen-Z and brown people in their computer that they can force to do their work for them for free that they can then act like they did it.
>>
Look how many retarded people in here replied "because..." as if that premise in the original post is something like accurate
>>
>>542209694
because... the premise is exactly consistent with our real-life experiences? Do you even know any boomers irl?
>>
>>542204437
Boomers seem to like AI music. Perhaps it's dementia.
>>
>>542204585
10 years ago I was a god with google searching. They made it shit. I cant even use the put something in quotes cheatcode anymore. Its so shit now.
>>
They like slop more than they hate technology
>>
>>542204535
Boomers dont promt. They just consoom ai slop content
>>
>>542204437
Because AI is booming so they feel a connection—you boom I boom—boom, connection.
>>
>>542204437
AI is a sycophants.
It tells them everything they want to hear.
Simple as.
>>
>>542204437
That's like asking why someone loves a vacation but hates traveling. Its basically the 8th wonder of da earf
>>
>>542207438
It tells you what you ask it first
>I have an apple and a banana which is poisoned?
>the apple 100% sure
>I have an banana and a apple which is poisoned?
>the banana 100% sure
Boomers are retarded.
>>
>>542204535
>LLMs set up with ego jerking in mind to increase product satisfaction
>AI adds fake compliments after each query
>boomers are also called the ME ME ME generation
it's not that hard to put 2+2 together
