That's what the last generation before me said too. And likely the one before that. All the way to the stone age

No, that's actually legitimately not true. IQ scores and literacy were on a positive slope relative to their generation, until Gen z.

The top theory among actual scientists are that the education system was changing which negatively impacted scores. Not to mention that online IQ tests are hardly an accurate measure of intelligence. I'd more readily believe that the systems in place have failed them in one way or another rather than somehow they all collectively made eachother dumber.

First part was about IQ (or intelligence as you put it). Second part was more directed toward literacy rates, I could have made that clearer, my bad
