自聊天機器人普及以來的四年間，年輕人對大型語言模型的炒作愈發持懷疑態度。市場研究公司 YPulse 的調查顯示，百分之三十七的青少年在看到 AI 生成的音樂和影片時感到反感，超過半數的青少年擔憂虛假資訊和深度偽造技術帶來的風險。儘管許多青少年仍將該技術用於課業和社交陪伴，但對 AI 的熱情明顯參差不齊。（關鍵數字：37, four years）

民調數據揭示了青少年對 AI 態度中的深層矛盾。皮尤研究中心的報告指出，雖然多數美國青少年使用聊天機器人，且不少人認為 AI 對個人有益，但超過四分之一的青少年認為 AI 將在未來二十年對社會產生負面影響，他們擔心的問題包括失業、批判性思維能力的退化以及環境衝擊。

與以往新科技由長輩發出警告的模式不同，這一次對 AI 的抵觸情緒來自年輕人自身。傳播學教授梅蘭妮·格林指出，孩子們反感成人和科技公司強行推銷 AI 的方式，並且深刻意識到技術顛覆的後果將由他們這一代人承擔。在社群媒體上，家長們分享孩子把「那是 AI」當作「那是胡扯」的口頭禪，教育工作者也觀察到學生對 AI 生成的藝術作品嗤之以鼻。

In the four years since chatbots entered the mainstream, young people have become increasingly skeptical of the hype surrounding large language models. Research by YPulse shows that 37 percent of teens cringe at AI-generated content such as music and videos, and over half express concern about misinformation and deepfakes, even as many continue to use the technology for schoolwork and companionship.

Polling data reveals significant contradictions in youth attitudes toward AI. A Pew Research report found that while a majority of American teens use chatbots and some see personal benefits, more than a quarter believe AI will negatively impact society over the next two decades, citing fears of job displacement, the erosion of critical thinking skills, and environmental consequences.

Unlike previous technology waves where moral panic originated with older generations, resistance to AI is coming from young people themselves. Communications professor Melanie Green notes that kids are put off by the aggressive way AI is being pushed on them by adults and tech corporations, and they are acutely aware that their generation will bear the brunt of any disruption. On social media platforms, parents report their children equating "that's AI" with "that's BS," while educators observe that students—even those who use AI—resent the art it produces and worry about its broader consequences.
