    As a Gen Z who has gone to great lengths to ensure I have the education needed to engage with these issues honestly, and who is surrounded by colleagues of a similar level of understanding in my state (California). I heavily dispute your statement.

      That’s great, but that’s anecdotal. Please show me how education has improved in the areas of critical thinking and media literacy in the aggregate. I’d love to be wrong about this.

        I probably would be unable to present anything substantial due to the lack of data available under both Trump administration’s Department of Education, and the lack of relevant census data.

        The point I’m trying to make is describing us as a monolith of AI slop consumers and social media addicts doesn’t make your calls for change any more heard, nor is an accurate portrayal for how we think for ourselves.
