At the time of the Internet bubble, there were people pushing for more "free" usage of the Internet, and those that couldn't care less.
And it's not like the companies didn't want to take advantage of the Internet, but there was a mismatch between what the companies and the employees had in mind, which mostly boils down
* Employees want to use it to do their jobs and make their life easier
* Companies want to improve productivity, spend less and make more money.
There is some overlap of course, but the problem is where the two clashes.
I don't think today it is too much different. I see plenty of people using AI for what they care about, they complain when they are asked to use it for things they fear will make their life worse (like programmers that think they will have to pick up the pieces of vibe coding later on).
> As a group, teenagers and young adults hate AI
I wonder what is their definition of AI. I haven't seen a single young person saying "I don't use chatgpt (or the like) because I hate AI". If else plenty of student have become dependent on it.
