AI Hate, Gen Z University Skepticism, and the Real Secret to Learning Languages

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the growing wave of AI backlash and why some people are beginning to actively resent artificial intelligence. Then we discussed why Gen Z increasingly sees university degrees as “useless,” despite 20 years of data showing that graduates are still the least likely group to be unemployed.
