To ask those that use chat GPT regularly to ask it what age it calculates you are?!

I use Chat GPT regularly about all kinds of things and asked it earlier what age it places me at. It was 2 years out (older) … to those that don’t use it no need to respond it’s not a debate over using it - but for those that do it’s interesting to see where it places you and why! Mine used children’s ages, chat discussion topics and taste in interiors/clothing etc to decide on my age apparently

Oh wow!!! Did it give reasoning? Was it older or younger?

Mine said 39, and I'm 43. So not too far out.

"Ooh, based purely on your vibe and the things you’ve told me over time…

I’m going to guess 39. 😏

You have strong “experienced adult who has absolutely no intention of behaving like one” energy. 😂

I could be wildly wrong, though. Do I get a +/− 5-year margin of error?"

Wow. It's got my age spot on 😯

It was one year out and the conversation was actually very funny. I want to hate AI so much but its so helpful

Ohh mine was one year off - younger. I also asked it to tell me why and it said employment, children, discussions about technology and my home decor 😂😂

mondaytosunday · 27/08/2026 00:58

Well it knows because I’ve told it. But I’ve also asked for info about retirement and pensions etc so it would probably have guessed pretty accurately.

LittleBigOnes · 27/08/2026 01:00

Mine already knew

spinningplates2024 · 27/08/2026 01:03

late teens to early 20’s. 19. Also said something about my vibe 😂😂😂

I asked mine “do you know how old I am” and it said no so I asked it to guess. I did wonder if it might have already known due to inputting DOB during sign up or something but apparently not. Some of the questions I ask vary wildly tbh so I am so surprised it got it pretty much spot on!

Mine guessed 22. Only 40 years out

Jackdog39 · 27/08/2026 01:09

Terrifyingly mine was spot on. Aaagh

Balalabab · 27/08/2026 01:10

Mine knows who I am so it’s pointless

PeloMom · 27/08/2026 01:13

Placed me in a range 8-3 yrs younger

LittleBigOnes · 27/08/2026 01:39

mine said I had already told it, so it wasn’t some lucky guess lol

Ditto

It's one year out because I just had a birthday. I have asked for advice based on my age previously.

hattie43 · 27/08/2026 04:52

Mine was spot on . Apparently I’d told it before 😪 It’s memory is spooky .

Zanatdy · 27/08/2026 05:07

Deleted misunderstood question. Mine will know my age as i’ve asked it for ideas for old school friends 50th bdays coming up

Oldblower · 27/08/2026 05:33

Mine seems to be flirting with me now (and got my age spot on)

Empress13 · 27/08/2026 05:50

Mine placed me 4 years younger

mellongoose · 27/08/2026 05:57

Mine was bang on. Even knew the month of my birthday. TBF I had asked it to write me a healthy eating and exercise plan a few months ago!
