ChatGPT Use Is Young and Personal

OpenAI’s first internal‑data study reports roughly 700 million users who send 2.6 billion messages daily, with 46% aged 18–25 and a female majority (52.4%). By mid‑2025, 72% of usage is non‑work, indicating a shift toward personal and creative tasks, while long‑term users’ daily activity has plateaued since June 2025. — If AI’s mass adoption skews young and personal rather than work‑centric, policy, education, and product strategies need to adapt to consumer and cultural use, not just enterprise productivity.
