Solid comeback...

Kind of a fond/humanised name for chat gpt me and some colleagues use. We've dubbed it our idiot friend, 'Gippers'. Its commonly wrong and there's a group of colleagues who trusts it and a group who doesn't. I think we anthropomorphised the machine a little, and also its maybe a little cringey.

Agree.. Cringe.

Thanks

If that can make you feel better, I agree that millenials suck at computers. I mean sure they can do some basic stuff, but most people I know don't know shit really

proceeds to talk down to me

I wasn't talking down to you, I was explaining my perspective backed up with facts you clearly did not look at. I'd ask if you could point out where you feel I'd done so, but as you can see later in my comment, I no longer care.

EVERYONE had some form of computer

This is statistically impossible as you can see from the source that I provided from the US Census Bureau.

What a prick. ... cunty chops ... you dweeby little millennials pricks

Name calling. Nice, dude. For your age, I'd expect you to be more mature. I'll just be reporting, blocking you, and moving on. I tried to have a cordial conversation with you, but you are clearly not capable of doing so. Have a nice day, and a nice life.

Well I don't know... I worked with boomers who first built out the internet in my country. Now they mostly retired, but the Gen-Xers who remain are also incredible.

My dad who's also a boomer and an anesthesiologist got admin rights at the hospital he worked at because he helped everyone around with their computer troubles and the tech support trusted him and were happy he reduced their ticket load.

Maybe you guys just know the wrong people.

Boomer is a mindset not a timespan.

Not all of Gen Z are tech illiterate. Some of us used computers before iPads and smartphones. I used Windows XP and 7 long before I ever got a smartphone.

There are some parts of Gen Z that can actually tear stuff apart and actually fix systems, but those are the nerds (which also includes me) that care enough to actually learn stuff. The majority is quite tech illiterate

This is how I am for the part (including most people who aren’t computer enthusiasts or CS degree holders). I know my limits on what I am willing to do with command lines because I don’t have time to memorize all that shit.

I wrote a shell script my mom just has to click on to run the updates and she still can't figure it out. The filename is literally "ClickHereToRunUpdatesMom.sh"

I'm also Gen Z

You're completely wrong, but if you want to confuse the word even more, go ahead.

Just ask an AI to fix it.

YOUR COMPUTER NEEDS AN RTX 5090 SUPER RUNNING THE SKYNET CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICE TO WORK PROPERLY.

Easy

Same here, but I'm a border generation (born in the late 90s)

Millenial here, its actually the same for us. Most millenials dont actually know how to fix a computer, either.

So am I! I guess we are more relatable to millennials. 10 years ago, people would call me one so whatever.

the last “boomer” generation. Fed a diet of TV and no internet growing up

Boomer is a mindset not a timespan

Lol.

Yeah?

You don't have to be born from '46 to '64 to be a boomer, you have to act like a boomer to be a boomer. Being fed a boomer media/social diet growing up tends to make people grow up into boomers.

I know enough Millennials who don't know shit. "My email address is www...."

You're conflating and confusing a term that has existed since the 60's to describe a time span, with complex societal, economical effects on peoples mindset today.

Your inability to describe and explain the things you want to argue is the issue. Repeating the word again and again is not helping.
