    1 in 3 Gen Zers Have Done This With AI (Ryan Vet, Part 2)
    Oct 13 2026
    In Part 2 of my conversation with futurist, author, and speaker Ryan Vet, we dig into Gen Z and AI, and what it means for parents whose college grad is stuck at home.Ryan starts with a number that should make every parent pause. Then he clears up one of the biggest myths out there: Gen Z is not leading the AI revolution. Millennials are. Gen Z is actually one of the most skeptical generations when it comes to AI.From there we get practical. What do you do when your adult child sleeps all day, stays up all night, and won’t leave their room? Ryan talks about why Gen X parents tend to overcompensate, why the hard conversations can’t be skipped, and why we can’t remove the very friction that turns kids into adults.We also cover:Why Gen Z spends more time at home than any recent generation, and less time with family“Babies bounce”: why falling gets harder the older you getThe shift from a “me” mindset to being part of a wholeWhy we spent a generation raising kids when we should have been raising adultsTimestamps:00:00 Gen Z, AI and the calculator question02:00 Who’s actually leading the AI revolution05:00 The 1 in 3 number07:00 When your grad is stuck in their room10:00 Friction forms us13:00 Community vs. the individual16:00 Taking away the sampling spoonsResources mentioned:We’ve Never Been More Alone: Why the Most Connected Generation Is the Loneliest in History (The Ryan Vet Show): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/weve-never-been-more-alone-why-the-most-connected/id1854555573?i=1000764734935Scrolling 2 Death, the podcast by Nicki Petrossi: https://www.scrolling2death.com/podcastHunt, Gather, Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Hunt-Gather-Parent/Michaeleen-Doucleff/9781982149680Connect with Ryan Vet:Website: https://ryanvet.comCollide, his weekly essays: https://ryanvet.com/collide/The Ryan Vet Show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ryan-vet-show/id1854555573LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanvetConnect with Evan Sanchez:Is your college grad stuck at home?
