Baby boomers, millennials, and Generation Z perceive and use artificial intelligence differently. This statement was made by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
According to him, the older generation tends to understand AI as an advanced search engine. Millennials often use the technology as a digital therapist, while modern students use it as a universal assistant, relying on it for everything.
"It's an oversimplification, but older people use ChatGPT like Google. Users aged 20-30 apply the chatbot as a life advisor," noted Altman.
He compared the generational divide in the context of AI usage to the early days of smartphones. At that time, young people quickly adapted, while older individuals took longer.
"College students use it as an operating system. They configure ChatGPT in complex ways, connect it to files, remember or save detailed prompts. It's impressive. Some do not make life decisions without consulting the chatbot, which has complete information about the people in their lives and past conversations," added the OpenAI CEO.
In April, the startup significantly improved ChatGPT's memory. Now it remembers all user conversations.
It should be noted that in the same month, Altman reported that OpenAI spent tens of millions of dollars on responses from users who wrote 'please' and 'thank you.' However, this makes no sense, as being polite with AI models is a waste of computational resources.
