      Yes, I’m aware of those trends, but I don’t think it’s as relevant in the context of “smart” or “AI” system user interactions. Younger generations have grown up with the touchscreen/voice interface - which is the primary driver of the specific problems you’re alluding to.

      So in this context, I think Gen Z, Gen Y, and Millennials are on equal footing when they each individually make the rational decision to either smash their head, or a baseball bat, into an AI run McDonald’s Drive-Thru.
