Gen Z and Millennials Use ChatGPT as a Life Advisor, Influencing Decision-Making
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has highlighted the distinct ways in which different generations utilize ChatGPT, with Gen Z and millennials increasingly using it as a 'life advisor.' At a recent event, Altman noted that younger users, particularly college students, treat ChatGPT as an operating system, integrating it into their daily lives for decision-making. This demographic reportedly uses ChatGPT for a wide range of inquiries, from relationship advice to business and medical questions. A 2025 report by OpenAI revealed that over one-third of 18-to-24-year-olds in the U.S. use ChatGPT, reflecting its growing role in their lives. However, experts caution against relying on AI for critical life decisions, citing potential risks and the need for ethical considerations.
