Asked about AI and the trend of college students booing tech CEOs at graduation ceremonies, Instagram head Adam Mosseri acknowledged in an interview that a lot of people really don't like AI, and it's not just young people and creatives. Appearing on the Colin and Samir podcast to talk about the launch of widescreen and long-form video for Instagram , Mosseri said he thinks there's a trend of "more anxiety and more frustration and more anger about AI," particularly in creative industries:

It's not only getting worse, it's going to continue to get worse. I think we're going to see more frustration and anger, some of it founded, some of it unfounded, over the next couple of years, and that's going to make it hard for a lot of people, not just in the industry
