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.
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.
I’m just connecting dots. I already accept it prob should have phrased abother queston but seems me asking a question at all is some how offensenive I’ll just let it be.
Have they? What I’ve seen is people over
5060 (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.
Mate, gen-X were basically the first people regularly use the Internet. They’re far more clued up than Gen-Z.
Yes, I meant to say 60 or 65 like OP did. Funny thing is I’m about 50.

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.
That was me. It was a typo. Sorry
Ahh, my bad then. Though one day soon I will also be over 60 and be pretty aware of AI… :P

I guess I’ve only 2 reports I’m going off of. My own parents and the parents of a popular streamer. Maybe should have asked for more examples instead?
I haven’t really heard anyone over 65 or whatever espouse the dead internet theory. Could be a trend I don’t know about, I guess.
So 2 is now all people over 60?
