I'm really surprised at the 30–49 bracket being at 39%. But, keep in mind there's a huge gap in tech savviness and tech lifestyle between someone born in 1977 to someone born in 1996. Their impressionable years kicked off literally at opposite ends of the Digital/Tech revolution, so I guess that makes sense that way...
The difference between the 65+ bracket and the 50-64 bracket in the original data is larger than the gap between 50-64 and 30-49 on every chart I've examined so far (where they're broken out by age), so the real break is at retirement. Which makes sense: retirees are less likely to be forced into proximity with LLMs whether they want to be or not. (Interestingly, the older demographics are also less likely to think they have enough control over interactions with "AI".)
