30% of Young Americans Have Used ChatGPT at Work
Summary
TLDRThe latest research on American usage of chat GPT reveals a significant increase in adoption, particularly for work-related tasks, with younger generations and the more educated leading the way. The study also highlights a general mistrust towards election information sourced from chat GPT, suggesting a cautious approach towards AI-generated content. This rapid adoption underscores the importance of clear AI policies within organizations, as employees are integrating AI into their work without centralized guidance.

welcome back to the AI breakdown today
we are looking at the latest research
around American usage of chat GPT and
fascinatingly I have some very different
conclusions or at least very different
interpretations than the way the Pew
Research Center seems to be interpreting
some of their results there are two
parts of this survey broadly speaking
it's just about chaty PT usage but then
specifically it's about usage at work
that's one part and Trust when it comes
to election related information that's
another part the first part I want to
talk about is the work piece so first of
all by way of a general update last July
18% of American adults said that they
had used Chachi BT in February that was
up to 23% of us adults however those
numbers are significantly changed when
you look Generation by generation when
it comes to adults under 30 years old so
between 18 and 29 43% of them have now
used chat PT that's up 10 percentage
points since last Summer's 33% or 1/3
the percentage of adults 30 to 49 that
have used chat GPT has gone from 21 to
27% between 50 and 64 the number goes
from 13 to 177% and for the 65 plus
crowd it moved slightly from 4% last
July to 6% in February perhaps
unsurprisingly the more educated people
are the more likely to have used chat
GPT they are only 12% of those with a
high school diploma or less have tried
chat GPT 23% of those who have some
college experience have tried it 29% of
those with a bachelor's degree have
tried it and 37% of those who have a
post-graduate or other other Advanced
degree have tried it which is up eight
points since last July as well now
what's most notable to me are the
statistics around work Pew research
asked three different reasons that
someone might have tried chat jbt for
entertainment to learn something new or
for tasks at work the percentage of
Americans who say they've used chat GPT
for entertainment was 11% last March 15%
last July and 177% in February so an
increase but a small one to learn
something new was similar the percentage
of American adults who had used chat GPT
to learn something new was at 8% last
March 14% in July and again just up a
little bit to 17% in February however
when it comes to Americans who have used
chat GPT for work the number has risen
by double digits back last March only 8%
of Americans had used chat GPT for work
in February survey that was up
20% the numbers are even more Stark when
again you break it generationally for
those ages 18 to 29 the percentage of
those who said they had used chat PT for
work jumped from 12% last March to 30 1%
this February nearly a tripling for the
group that's 30 to 49 it was up from 8%
last March to 21% and even the 50 plus
demographic saw a significant increase
from just 4% last March to 10% last
February now this clearly indicates that
work is the breakout use case for
American adults when it comes to chat
gbt which if you've ever used chat gbt
for anything at work probably won't be
that surprising now the numbers also do
look a little bit different
generationally when it comes to learning
something new and for entertainment for
example if you break down the to learn
something new numbers by generation that
18 to 29 set jumps from 16% who had used
chat GPT to learn something new last
March to almost double at 31% this
February when it comes to use at work
the numbers also follow educational
lines for those with a high school
diploma or less only 8% had used chat
GPT at work for those with some college
only 19% had used it for those with a
bachelor's degree only 25% or a quarter
had used it and for those with a
postgraduate degree that was up to a
third who had used chbt for work now
interestingly the percentage is
statistically unchanged for workers with
a high school diploma or less from a
year ago but the shares for each of
these some college bachelor's degree
only and postgraduate had tripled since
March of last year Professor Ethan mik
who just released his book about
generative AI had two interesting things
to say about these numbers the first he
writes this is a really fast adoption
curve for a technology that is for most
people 16 months old just not a lot of
support for the idea that AI use is
topping out the other thing that he
points out which is something that
certainly we've seen over here at the AI
breakdown he writes the biggest AI
opportunity companies are missing is
that their employees are rapidly
adopting Ai and figuring out how to use
it for work and not telling leadership
organizations that have unclear AI
policies are not stopping people from
using AI they stop them from sharing
uses for as much as corporate leaders
and Enterprise leaders and division
leaders are being pressured to have ai
strategies the reality is that this
adoption is happening from the ground up
in a Bottoms Up way and that is what I
think makes it so clearly important and
sustainable now let's briefly touch on
the one other part of this survey they
also asked survey respondents whether
they trusted information about the
election that comes from chat gbt just
under 40% said that they don't have too
much trust or none at all only 2% have a
great deal of trust and only 10% have
some trust 15% were not sure and 34%
have not heard of chat gbt in some ways
it felt like Pew was presenting this as
a negative thing that chat gbt wasn't
trustworthy I think on the other hand
that it's actually a good thing my base
case for why misinformation is going to
be less disruptive in the short term at
least than some think is that I think
we're going to adapt much more rapidly
than many assume to a world in which
llms are pumping out information I think
our trust hackles are going to be raised
and we're going to be more mistrustful
overall which might bring its very own
consequences but I don't think being
tricked by AI is necessarily going to be
the thing that ends up being the biggest
challenge the fact that the vast
majority of people don't trust what's
coming out of Chachi BT when it comes to
the election suggest that those walls
are up right now and while of course
chat gbt wants to build trust as a
reputable source of information I think
net net for society it's better that
people go in more skeptical than blindly
trusting when it comes to these
Technologies anyway really fascinating
stuff always great to get a report card
on the state of adoption and usage and
I'll be interested to see whether these
numbers surprise you either to the
highend or the low end for now though
that is going to do it for this episode
of the AI breakdown until next time
peace
