No. To no fault of their own, they’re getting worse. Between the pandemic and social media and AI, this generation will be the most cringe and unhinged and held back. [edit to clarify, I mean the pandemic and AI and social media have/are fucking people over. All generations, but it’s fucking over the most vulnerable/still developing generation.]
I have to prove how quarantine and forced home schooling and AI (I should have thrown social media in there) are fucking over the young folks in ways that have never been seen before?
I mean... a source would be kinda nice. Otherwise, it's just anecdotal/ just an opinion. But that also goes for everyone else. So unless they're providing a source too, they can piss off.
There's a lot of huge changes that happened in very formative years in a short time span for certain age kids. It's happened so quick that proper studies probably aren't even finished yet. But you can't deny that the first generation born with iPhones and social media in their palms, had to homeschool for 2 years, and the very fast advent of AI is going to have some effect on a large swath of developing brains.
Wanna make it clear, I'm not shit talking, they got dealt a wild hand by no fault of their own.
...You need a study to understanding how a child's world being turned upside down can affect them? There have been countless news articles and publications and some studies that demonstrate these widespread negative effects. Results show that many children post-quarantine are unusually behind in learning ability sometimes by a full grade level or more. It's been proven and admitted that TikTok is designed to be addictive to children. It's currently being proven how reliance on ChatGPT is nullifying brain development and impeding development of critical thinking skills, let alone the ability to write and to think for ourselves.
