Ah, nothing beats AI generated slop.

'Does generation Z worry about Friday the 13th?.

AI answer: 'Some people may be potentially superstitious and some may not be potentially superstitious. Some sources suggest that some people in the past were more superstitious but some sources indicate that the other sources do not definitively support the claim that initial sources sourced in potentially superstitious people suggest that sometimes Friday is the 13th which is a potential worry to some people. Or not.'

Below are some points from the second half of the AI response (which was in my original post above) ...which I have shortened/reworded:

--Individuals can pick up superstitious beliefs by being taught directly by parents, or by observation or imitation of family or friends.

--When an individual feels a lack of control or they have difficulty facing uncertainty, they may be more susceptible to forming superstitious beliefs, especially if they believe that events can be influenced by bad luck.

--Individuals often fall into confirmation bias in which they look for evidence that supports their current beliefs, even if those beliefs are irrational -- such that they will focus on the negative events that happen on Friday the 13th, as proof that that it is unlucky.
