What's your 'old person' trait?

For example, mine is that I love watching Antiques Roadshow.

I absolutely hate AI.
- Is this an old person trait? Consider me a curmudgeon then.
  
  Anything invented before you turn 15 is just how the world works.
  Anything invented between the ages of 15 and 30 is revolutionary and groundbreaking and you should pursue a career in it.
  Anything invented after you turn 30 goes against the natural order of things.
  
  I don't think AI (aka LLMs) is / are against the natural order, I just think they are a terrible tool for work that requires thinking. And there are a lot of people, including medical professionals, who don't care enough to verify what is presented to them. At least if I use AI generated code, I can test it.
  
  I would think so. Given how obsessed people have become with AI and how pretty much everyone and their mother has ingrained themselves with AI. It's harder to find someone who doesn't use it at all than those who do. I hate it and everything that comes with it.
  
  Gen Z here. I think you'd be surprised to find that gen z generally hates ai slop. Specifically the slop, most people are ok with some AI use.
  For llms It's seen the same way I imagine search engines were (I was born after Google existed). People can just find an answer for their problem instead of searching for it in a book or asking someone. This can either be amazing for learning new things, or for cheating. My professors even tell me to USE ai to learn, just know how to actually use it to help learn rather than get the correct answer and be done with it.
  
  I can't bring myself to trust any information from LLMs that I don't already know.
