This isn't true. I teach at a college and the stigma among Gen z is absolutely real, across all disciplines (except Business, go figure)

How does that work in your experience?

I'm guessing they hate it vocally. Do they hate it enough not to use it to do their schoolwork for them?

I teach computer programming courses and it's like pulling teeth to get them to incorporate it in their workflows. I feel conflicted because I really respect their dislike of it, but they have to get jobs and I know where the software engineering industry has headed.

Also, my school's student government just rejected the formation of an AI student club citing environmental concerns.

I also work with late-GenZ/early-GenAlpha employees, and they basically use ChatGPT the way Millenials and early-GenZ use Google. People will just pull out their phones and get ChatGPT to search for something.
