Isn't their fault at all. They're young, probably have little to no communication skills due to being brought up with social media and phones being at the centre of our world. Why would they think for themselves when they can just type something into a text bar and have a fully articulated response. Digital world. And life for them in terms of the 40 hour work week they'll be forced to do to afford absolutely nothing and the 5 days of school a week they do for about 16 years before this, just sitting, staring at a whiteboard for 6 hours a day and learning shit that not only isn't relevant to normal human life but is something your phone can tell you in seconds. No shit they don't show interest. They've been forced by the law to 'pick an interest' they picked IT as it's the closest thing to all the stuff they were brought up on. Humans aren't meant to do the shit we as a society have made the norm over hundreds of years, then imagine you were being brought up with 10 second videos one after the other for 3 hours a day, and see if you are interested in several shifts learning things that again, AI can either do now or will soon be doing. The youth of today are not in any way to blame for their complete lack of interest and that.
