AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

.....you know language evolves, right? Boomer has been used for slang for old people for at least 10 years now.....
I'm sorry that you got nothing but downvotes despite being factually correct.
Boomer can be used to mean a specific age range or just someone old, especially if they're bad with tech or hold odious views.
Honestly to me it just shows that they are out of touch and indeed a boomer lmao
Boomers ARE old people though. The youngest would have been born in 1965. Today they would be 61. 10 years ago they'd be 51.
So 10 years ago calling someone in their 50s a boomer would still be correct. Today however, that would be GenX.
Language didn't evolve, you're just not keeping up with math. Which I assure you, math never changes. You're either right, or you're wrong.
No... no, language definitely evolves; you just didnt keep up. I assume because youre old and dont care to. So a boomer. Just like how chud used be specifically about right wing politicucks and now it is just about any loser.
