Gallup poll: Gen Z's AI usage increases but excitement plummets from 36% to 22%
蓋洛普民調:Z世代的AI使用率上升,但興奮度從36%暴跌至22%
A new Gallup survey of 1,500+ Gen Z respondents found that more than half of Gen Z living in the US regularly use generative AI, but their feelings about the technology are getting worse.
Among those aged 14 to 29, compared to last year, excitement dropped from 36% to 22%, hopefulness fell from 27% to 18%, and anger jumped from 22% to 31%.
The main driver behind the shift appears to be job anxiety, nearly half of respondents said the risks of AI in the workplace outweigh the benefits.

The "just wait 6 months" argument from 2025 survived exactly one iteration
Throughout 2025 the standard response to any complaint about an LLM was some version of "just wait 3-6 months, the next generation will handle this effortlessly." The argument was everywhere. Every limitation was temporary, every missing capability was a few iterations away, every autonomous agent demo was a preview of imminent reality.
It's April 2026 now and worth checking how that held up.
On r/ClaudeAI this week there's a long thread about Opus 4.7 where multiple users argue it's a regress

Mistral Medium 3.5 on AMD Strix Halo: Painfully Slow (Plan for Overnight Runs)
Someone actually tested Mistral Medium 3.5 on AMD's new Strix Halo chip, and the results are... not great. For a 48k-token prompt with 4k thinking tokens, it took about 2 hours just to get an answer about code architecture. Yeah, you read that right—two hours. The takeaway: if you want to run this locally on Strix Halo, queue it up before bed. The technical setup involved heavy optimization (Q5_K_XL quantization, GPU acceleration with -ngl 999, cache reuse), but even with all that tuning, it's still a crawl. Not exactly the "instant local AI" dream, but hey, at least it works.
