The new generation of Internet users simply does not search. Watch this exasperating behaviour grow exponentially with all the AI bots, GPT whatnots and LLM shenanigans.

Zoomers overall can’t use computers, they grew up with phones and apps. Everything has to be handed to them in a closed off environment.

This is very broad and does not apply to all people. You should be more considerate before generalising an entire generation of people

Perhaps that's why they said

Zoomers overall

Also not sure what's so inconsiderate about their comment. I feel like it's pretty widely accepted that zoomers generally don't have the same tech problem-solving skills that many gen x/y people do. No one's claiming they're dumb. It's a byproduct of growing up with tech that has been designed for simplicity and ease of use.

Apologies. I may have misinterpreted the meaning behind the comment
