"“Gross oversimplification, but like older people use ChatGPT as a Google replacement. Maybe people in their 20s and 30s use it as like a life advisor, and then, like people in college use it as an operating system,” Altman said at Sequoia Capital's AI Ascent event last May."
"“I mean, that stuff, I think, is all cool and impressive,” Altman said. “And there's this other thing where, like, they don't really make life decisions without asking ChatGPT what they should do.”"
"“It has the full context on every person in their life and what they've talked about,” Altman said. Reports show people use ChatGPT for anything ranging from relationship advice to business and medical questions. Others use it as a replacement for talk therapy."
ChatGPT’s practical uses are expanding as the system becomes more capable. Different generations use it in different ways. Older people tend to use ChatGPT as a replacement for Google. People in their 20s and 30s use it more like a life advisor. College-aged users use it more like an operating system, setting it up with connections to files and using complex prompts. Many young users also consult ChatGPT before making life decisions. College-aged young adults in the U.S. are adopting it at high rates, with more than one-third of 18-to-24 year olds using it. ChatGPT’s memory of prior conversations provides context about a user’s life and prior discussions, enabling advice across topics such as relationships, business, and medical questions, and sometimes replacing talk therapy.
