Gen Z Uses AI Every Day. They Resent It More Every Month.

Gen Z Uses AI Every Day. They Resent It More Every Month.

A Gallup survey of 1,572 Gen Zers finds AI use holding steady at 51% weekly, but excitement plunging 14 points in a single year. Anger is rising. Even daily users are souring on the technology. Goldman Sachs estimates AI erases 16,000 net jobs monthly, and 44% of Gen Z workers admit to sabotaging their company's AI rollout. The generation that was supposed to carry AI into the mainstream is sending a very different signal.

Gemma 4 can't match Opus or ChatGPT. That stopped mattering for most AI workloads.

Google's Gemma 4 trails Claude Opus 4.6 and GPT-5.4 by seven to ten benchmark points. It also runs on a $500 GPU for free. FoodTruck Bench data shows the 31B model delivering 1,144% ROI at 15-40x lower cost than API models. But tool-call loops, slow MoE inference, and broken day-one tooling mark where cheap stops being enough. The split stack approach, local for routine work, APIs for hard cases, is where enterprise budgets head next.

AI Chatbots Discovered Memory. Only Google Has Something Worth Remembering.

Google's new Gemini notebooks look like a ChatGPT copycat. They sync bidirectionally with NotebookLM, fusing a mass-market chatbot with a document-grounding research tool. Free users get 100 notebooks. Ultra subscribers get 500, each holding 600 sources. But the real story isn't the feature. It's what happens when the company that controls your files also controls your AI, and every uploaded document makes switching harder.
