It’s fully accurate to say “older people generally are more close-minded and trust AI more” without that being an attack on any particular old person.

Depending on the area you live in and the the total range of the statistics it can be fully accurate to say that "black people generally love watermelon and fried chicken and are more likely to steal your bike" and for that to not be an attack on any individual person, but also fuck you. Get it? Just because statistics show a thing doesn't mean you're not being a piece of shit for using those statistics to denigrate a massive group of people.

Using statistics chosen because they do denigrate a group of people and then acting like it's not your fault these are what the statistics show is pretty common from hater assholes towards any group.

It would be more accurate to say boomers trust ai more, not because they’re necessarily stupider (though lead poisoning was extremely common through leaded gasoline)

This one is fantastic, since several studies have come out showing that Gen Z is the first generation to be less cognitively capable than the one that came before it. They don't even have leaded gasoline to point to as an excuse. Somehow I don't think they'd be super happy to see the internet flooded with people assuming anyone in that age range is an idiot.
