    Have they? What I’ve seen is people over 50 60 (really 65) have zero idea that AI exists and consistently fall for obviously absurd Facebook posts.

    Edit, I see where some of these responses came from - OP said over 60, and I meant to say over 60 too, not 50.

      I saw a “veteran” crying in a wheelchair with 13 fingers and the comments were just elderly people saying amen. They have no idea that AI even exists as a context

      In 52 and use ai to help me worldbuild and structure my writing projects every day, generate character portraits for my characters in tabletop rpga, etc, and I very much doubt I’m alone.

        Sure… OP said over 60, but I think over 65-70 would be more accurate for people who don’t know about generative AI at all.

          Yeah, but the person I replied to said over 50, which is why I replied to them and not to OP.

          people over 50 have zero idea that AI exists

      Eh… I’m 51. Been using AI for about 5 years now. Not only don’t I fall for the pictures, but I can also identify when my prompts are poisoning my responses (a great skill for Google, too). My wife has used it. Her boss is at least aware of it. I’m strongly encouraged to use it at work.

      I might be a bit of an outlier, but plenty of us olds know all about AI from the pixels and having seen quite a few prompts in our day.

        I’m almost that age, and am technically adept also. I’d say the “old people on Facebook” age is a good bit higher. I’m sure some people who are 65 or 70 understand what AI is too.
