As a member of the Oregon Trail Generation (a sweet spot on the boundary of Gen X and Millennial), I think people who were in elementary school in the 80s have a pretty special set of skills where we can use "old" technology, and were frequently the ones who had to help our elders with it, and we have seen new technology (home computers, the Internet, smart phones) come into being and mature.
So we didn't just learn how to use tech, we learned how to grow with tech as it grew.
I'm guessing large language models - imitative so-called "AI" - is going to do that same sort of growth and change arc over the next couple decades. It's likely I'll be pretty mystified by it, but hopefully my kids will be playing with it and growing with it as it grows into a mature technology.
