Yeah… only there’s evidence that suppers the claim. Man. Science is such a fucking burden. Isn’t it?

For almost a century, the Flynn Effect was the standard. Yet, suddenly, it ended with Gen Z. This isn’t opinions bud. It’s science.
You just don’t like the outcome.
Right. You heard people whining about dumb shit. This isn’t the same. This is a study done with factual results.
Covid was forced on them. AI slop wasn’t. Each generation has its share of shit they were handed, and shut they could have easily avoided.
No. They don’t.
I’ve always felt lucky to have been born Gen X. The music, the movies, the sports… all the legendary moments and all the huge breakthroughs to have been able to experience.
But now, sadly- there is another bonus, I’ll never live long enough to see end-result of AI erasing human culture. It’s enough to see it so quickly and thoroughly hobble the younger generation’s ability to think for themselves… we also have to see people dumb enough to enable it to continue.
I may not be glad when my times comes… but I think I’ll be pretty relieved.
I suppose it’s a good thing that this article does neither.
Gen Z is just as smart and capable as any other generation
But they’re not. And there’s evidence to back it up.
Oh absolutely! I do t feel bad at all, and I appreciate the lift! We need to see more of this here.
Same. However, it doesn’t make this any less true. And things aren’t boding well for Gen Alpha.
I don’t think it’s meant to be an academic write up- just a basic idea of the study and results. Though your links do cover it much better.
I have an ad blocker so I see no ads on mine.
I don’t think this is to say they’re complete idiots. It’s just that as a collective, their averages are notably lower.
And again…. They tested for more than just IQ. Read the article. Try and understand it.

So…. You didn’t read the article, and it shows. Maybe it is on to something.
For reference:
Gen Z is the first group to score lower than the generation before them. Their attention span, memory, reading and math skills, problem-solving abilities, and overall IQ are lower than those of millennials.
All of these things are quantifiable.
I d never seen this article before. lol. Has this been posted here already?
And yeah…. I’d imagine they won’t be too thrilled.

Idiocracy, here we come.

WionGen Z is officially less intelligent than millennials, first recorded intergenerational IQ dropGen Z is now officially the only generation to measure lower than their predecessors in intelligence. A neuroscientist says this is because short videos and summarised texts are being increasingly relied on, but this is not how the human brain works.The problem is, that person that picks up the pain rush will have no outlet for their craft because all the hacks will do it for scratch and people will become so accustomed to the slop that it will look/sound perfectly fine to them.
The future is fucked.
It was DESIGNED to cheat. Stop humanizing this bullshit. It doesn’t do what it’s programmed NOT to do.
All the wannabe “artists” and “musicians” will be begging their parents for one of these, I guarantee it.
Just like the housing bubble, right?
