OpenAI CEO Sam Altman discussed generational differences in ChatGPT usage patterns at Sequoia Capital's AI Ascent event.
Usage Patterns by Generation:
- Older generations: Use it as a substitute for Google (a search tool)
- People in their 20s-30s: Use it as a Life Advisor
- College students: Use it like an Operating System
College students use the product in more advanced ways, such as saving complex prompts or attaching files, and tend to use it in depth by maintaining personal context through ChatGPT's memory feature.
According to an OpenAI report, more than a third of the US population aged 18-24 uses ChatGPT. However, experts warn that caution is needed regarding safety and ethical aspects when using AI for important decisions, such as relationship advice or medical/psychological counseling.
