    Abstract:  ChatGPT has emerged as a key technology shaping daily life and influencing future developments. The younger generation perceives and understands this representative AI product reflects their technological outlook, which will directly impact the future technological landscape in our country. This study utilizes the Weibo platform to access online discourse related to ChatGPT, analyzing the contemporary youth’s technological perspectives and underlying development views from the dimensions of language, emotion, and theme. The research reveals that young individuals tend to scrutinize ChatGPT from a practical and utilitarian perspective, maintaining an optimistic and reflective stance towards its development and application. They actively deconstruct technological logic for knowledge transformation, emphasizing the enhancement of individual capabilities through human-technology interaction while also considering the economic utility of technology. Faced with technological challenges and international disputes, the youth are both vigilant and hopeful for their country’s technological rise. As both practitioners and future leaders in technology, the younger generation plays a crucial role. This study aims to deepen our understanding of the current technological perspectives of the youth and provide valuable insights and recommendations for future technological innovation and youth education.
