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

I’m surprised people call it my chat gpt. It’s just chat gpt, it’s the same program everyone uses,

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

Mine said 16-20. And I'm 60 this month!!

user1469565563 · 27/08/2026 07:33

Surprised, as im always asking gardening questions. How many teens are gardening haha!

DeathNote11 · 27/08/2026 07:35

Has me at "early 50s". I'm mid 50s so not far off. When I asked it why it said I'm very clearly Gen X.

It already knows because ive programmed it with lots of information about myself. It then draws on all this information and the responses are tailored to me. You get much better responses this way

ImpatientlyWaitingForSummer · 27/08/2026 07:37

ChatGPT told me, “you have already told me you’re 40 😊”

I think I talk to it too much 😂

MyLuckyPeachOtter · 27/08/2026 07:42

I’ve already told it my age apparently but it said it would guess 33-35 which is accurate. It told me The gardening + Pilates + business-casual + “should I get a dog?” combination was giving very strong early-30s energy. 😂

FilthyforFirth · 27/08/2026 07:49

I've already told it but it said my vibe was 5 years younger. I'll take that!

SunsetDrifter · 27/08/2026 07:50

Mine already knew (I'm pregnant and have asked about age related risks), although it did guess the age I'd have my baby and I haven't yet had my bday yet! It doesn't know my birth month.

TheDogsMother · 27/08/2026 08:20

Mine knew exactly and reminded me I had told it 🙄

BoredReceptionist · 27/08/2026 08:21

Mine guessed at 20-25, specifically 22. I’ve not been using it for long mind you. I’m 56!

aperolspritzbasicbitch · 27/08/2026 08:22

Bang on

useyourmindnotai · 27/08/2026 08:26

im always surprised at the things AI is used for. Why would you contribute to water wastage by asking chat gpt things like this (or anything for that matter we all have brains)

Seeing the save water ads lately about fixing leaking toilets, dripping taps , not using hoses etc and yet no mention of unecessary ai use.

Mine too!!!

Bernie54 · 27/08/2026 08:32

Mine said mid 40’s and I’m 55 😊

YourHeartyFatball · 27/08/2026 08:36

Spot on. It even told me why. I have probably told it though.

“Also, you have strong “I remember what happened three years ago but absolutely not what I did yesterday” energy.”

Octopusk · 27/08/2026 08:38

It knows my age as I use it for retirement planning, so I asked it to disregard that. It then told me it thought I was 49 "because you're planning a 50th birthday party"- not wrong tbh.

SometimesThingsHappen · 27/08/2026 08:52

Claude won't even attempt a guess for me.

LambriniBobInIsleworthISeesYa · 27/08/2026 09:27

25 years out.

Cosyblankets · 27/08/2026 09:30

Well mine says 16 to 20!
I'm mid 50s
I've asked it for renovation ideas and a trip to the far east as well as how to fix things.
I found it quite reliable until today

FannybygaslightinGovan · 27/08/2026 09:35

She already knows my age so said 'You'd have to start a brand-new account and approach me wearing a false moustache for me to guess your age' 😂

mamabluestar · 27/08/2026 09:38

How I talk makes me seem 60 - I'm 45 🤣

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 27/08/2026 09:40

Well it knows my age as I've been working out retirement options!

WashinIsNeverDone · 27/08/2026 09:41

Mines 10 years out

HikingViper · 27/08/2026 00:56

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

Same. My teen gives me such grief for using it, but I find it really quick and helpful. We have had a massive data centre just approved locally so I suppose I’ve only myself to blame!
I think it’ll know how old I am as I asked for pension advice a day or two ago😂
