Chatgpt is the “Pepito Grillo” of generation Z to make vital decisions, according to Sam Altman

The Z generation is not only thrown into Chatgpt’s arms to carry out tasks of an academic nature, improve work productivity or solve more or less trivial debates, but also to make absolutely crucial decisions for the future of their own lives. For the Centennials, the celebrated Open Chatbot is a kind of “cricket” to whom the youngest request advice When managing your own personal relationships or making changes in your professional career.

About the peculiar and very close relationship that generation Z is forging with chatgpt Sam Altman, CEO of Openai, spoke a few days ago, in AI Ascent, an event organized by Sequoia Capital and recently held in San Francisco.

“I don’t really think young people make vital decisions without consulting with chatgpt what they should do,” Altman said during his speech at AI Ascent. After all, the famous chatbot “is aware of the complex vital context of the people with whom he interacts and knows what they have previously talked about,” he added.

According to Altmanthe Z generation is not limited to having conversations of a casual nature with Chatgpt, but ends up developing with this chatbot an almost intimate and full confidence relationship (as well as to guide themselves by their recommendations when making transcendental decisions in their own lives).

Centennials “do not really use chatgpt as if it were an operating system”Altman said. “They develop complex ways to configure it to connect it to a lot of files, and have quite complex instructions memorized in the head” to the now of interacting with Chatgpt, said the OpenAi CEO.

For Cennnials Chatgpt it is a kind of vital advisor

Altman has the firm conviction that generational patterns are emerging to the surface in the relationships that users develop with the chatbots of AI. “Older people use Chatgpt as a Google substitute, while users between 20 and 30 years use it as a kind of vital advisor,” Altman explained. The only ones who use Chagpt as what it is, an operating system, are actually university students, specified the OpenAi CEO.

A report published last February by OpenAI showed that University students are effectively who make a more intensive use of chatgpt, A tool that is, in fact, fully integrated into its daily routines. More than a third of the Americans between 18 and 24 years old claim to use Chatgpt on a regular basis, so they constitute the most active demographic group on this platform.

However, ChatGPT is not only inseparable fellow of fatigue of those who study at the university, but also of those who study high school. A PEW Resarch study published in January 2024 revealed that 26% of American adolescents between 13 and 17 years use Chatgpt to do homework (compared to 13% of 2023).

The figures suggest that those who are currently raising the breasts of AI do not contemplate this technology as a mere tool but rather an inseparable digital advisor. Even when the chatbots of AI are relatively new, for some it is a reason for anxiety the close relationship that the youngest are making with them. California approved, not in vain, last year a law that requires AI companies to remind the youngest who do not talk to human and blood human beings when they have conversations with chatbots of AI.
