Gen Z, a generation of digital natives, has a tech-skeptic bent to it. This is especially true when it comes to AI chatbots. A 2024 IFS survey found that three-quarters of Gen Z adults were opposed to or uncomfortable with AI romantic companions; a fifth reported having mixed feelings or were unsure; and just 7% said they were open.
