Discovering how different generations use ChatGPT

Some see it as a work tool, others – as a life advisor. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently shared his impressions of how different generations use ChatGPT. He spoke about this at the AI ​​Ascent event held recently in the US.

“It's a rough generalization, but, let's say, older people use ChatGPT as a replacement for Google,” Altman said.

He noted that users in their twenties and thirties often experience it as a life advisor, while students use it as an operating system, according to Business Insider.


"They really use it like an operating system. They have complicated ways of configuring it to connect to different documents and they keep in their heads or somewhere else complex queries that they use regularly," Altman explained.

The latter emphasized that some students go so far as to use ChatGPT to make important decisions in life.

“There are times when they don't make life decisions without first asking ChatGPT what they should do. It has full context for every person in their life and what they've talked about,” he said.

OpenAI announced in February that students in the US use ChatGPT more than any other group.

A study by the Pew Research Center, published in January 2024, showed that 26 percent of American teenagers aged 13 to 17 had used ChatGPT for schoolwork, compared to 13 percent in 2023.

Altman also said that ChatGPT writes a large portion of OpenAI's code, though he didn't give an exact percentage. This means that OpenAI engineers themselves use ChatGPT as a programming aid, just like many other developers. /Telegraph/
