Myopic view, "older" folks are also excited they can leverage this new tool, you can be excited for a thing while also being apprehensive about some of its uses.

i love how you point out "write or help edit essays" and cant see how that could have potentially negative effects on society. If someone can generate an essay for class in 2 minutes that's better than their writing produced in hours, why would they ever bother to improve their writing?
