Millenials are actually somewhat the exception because we actually needed to use computers. Generally speaking it got worse because every fucking thing is abstracted away from consumers.

Yes, I'm aware of those trends, but I don't think it's as relevant in the context of "smart" or "AI" system user interactions. Younger generations have grown up with the touchscreen/voice interface - which is the primary driver of the specific problems you're alluding to.
So in this context, I think Gen Z, Gen Y, and Millennials are on equal footing when they each individually make the rational decision to either smash their head, or a baseball bat, into an AI run McDonald's Drive-Thru.
Im 24 and AI cant recognize my fucking accent, and I dont like suppressing it. I want to go full ooga booga caveman and chuck a spear through them.
