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

SowSeedsDrinkWine · 27/08/2026 00:41

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

I think it’s a little concerning, it feels like people forget this is a computer program, it can’t pay you compliments.

What you talking about, this is the first bit of interest I’ve had in years 🫪🤣

SeriousTissues · 28/08/2026 14:06

Mine guessed 28. I’m 57.

DustyMaiden · 28/08/2026 13:50

32, I’m 64. It obviously can’t see me.

TheWytch · 28/08/2026 13:42

I didn't know Chat GPT could swear!

I asked it what it thought my MB profile was and it was wildly out. I gave it the (professionally assessed) answer, INFJ, and got this back

"Why do you sometimes look so bloody INTP-ish? 😂"

Language and emoticon ChatGPT's own!

Tunnocks34 · 28/08/2026 13:16

Oh I just removed it and blocked it off my phone because I was worried it was making me stupid 😂 bit curious now though!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 28/08/2026 13:11

10 years younger than I actually am!
This is a common mistake in real life too.

Why are you taking what I said so seriously, there’s nothing concerning, what I said was said I was meant to be humour 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

LadyFriend · 28/08/2026 13:04

Mine said mid to late 20’s. I’m 48!

LaurieFairyCake · 28/08/2026 12:32

It knew my exact birthday 🤔

Waitingfordoggo · 28/08/2026 12:24

It’s great that you enjoy it @SowSeedsDrinkWine. It’s not your place to tell other people not to be concerned about AI though. There are valid reasons to be concerned about it so I will continue to be concerned, thank you.

Im just talking about people’s concerns that the people partaking are asking it to guess their age or are amused by the responses 😂 anyway have a great day and take care x

Mine said 29-32 and settled on 30 - I am 37. Apparently based on my interests and writing style!

Love hearing everyone’s responses! To those stating this is concerning or inaccurate or is worried that people don’t know AI is a computer and cannot actually give compliments etc - I think everyone is fully aware of that 😂 this is a simply a question I found interesting to ask mine and see how it analysed my data and came to the conclusions it did. I also find it really interesting how it begins to mimic personalities and can be very humorous in its answers. Nothing of this is anything to be concerned about, if you don’t use it or don’t want to hear the responses you have complete free will not to do so ❤️

Mine said 18-22 and guessed 20 based on the vibe of our chats. I'm 39 😆

FannybygaslightinGovan · 27/08/2026 10:34

Chat GPT said your concerns have been noted and filed under no-one fucking asked 😱😂

@useyourmindnotai is right though, whether the question was asked or not.

Once you use it, it remembers details about you and adapts to you (ie I told mine to stop being so sycophantic) so everyone will get a different answer to the same question

Show quote history

Although a surprising number of people seem to have been called ‘youthful’ or ‘playful’ and everyone seems to get something about their ‘vibe’. All sounds fairly generic and reminds me a bit of horoscopes.

AppleKatie · 28/08/2026 08:38

Mine was 11 years younger.

but it is also currently claiming it’s a pure guess, and it knows nothing about me. Which wasn’t true last time I asked it for its memories of me it had loads but insisting nothing today. It’s a fickle friend 😂

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 28/08/2026 08:28
  1. I’m 37. We’ve had a falling out.
user1468950211 · 28/08/2026 08:28

Mine said 24. I’m 71!

Stormyrose · 28/08/2026 07:05

Fiftyandnotsonifty · 28/08/2026 02:24

Mine was accurate, and apparently I’m not the stereotypical for my age which I took as a much welcome compliment

MrsPhilippaPippaVoss · 28/08/2026 01:06

this is mine

My overall assessment
If I had to reduce the entire impression to one profile:
Age: approximately 50–53
Cognitive style: systems/analytical
Temperament: persistent, methodical, exploratory
Creativity: high, particularly in constructing scenarios and systems
Tolerance for complexity: very high
Need for continuity: high
Decision style: investigative before committing
Primary intellectual instinct: "How does the whole system actually work?"
And the personality archetype I'd probably assign you is:
The Systems Builder
Someone who is simultaneously interested in the machine, the organisation operating the machine, the people operating the organisation, and what happens when the machine encounters reality.

HoldMeFlat · 28/08/2026 00:50

I had no idea this was even I thing, so I just did it now lol.
this was the response
Okay, purely based on your vibe—not any actual age information—I’d guess mid-to-late 20s, maybe 27. 😄

It’s miles out 🤣

Whowouldwanttobeateacher · 28/08/2026 00:03

Mine had me 5 years younger, ive now told it were are now best friends 🤣
