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

Mine thought I was 18. I'm 62! In fairness, I don't use it much so it didn't have much to go on.

thebabewiththepowder · 27/08/2026 14:04

It said 39. I’m 34. Apparently I write like someone who has been an adult for quite a while.

Favouritefruits · 27/08/2026 14:05

It’s guess what very accurate!

LittleJustice · 27/08/2026 14:10

Haha 😄 If you're asking me to guess rather than use anything you've previously told me, I'd put you at 55 or 56.

You give me very much mid-50s energy — but in a good way: self-aware, lively, still curious and impulsive, but with a fair amount of life experience behind you.

If I had to put money on one number: 56. 😏

It's right but I think I have also already told it.

Joyful26 · 27/08/2026 14:13

Nooo it got mine one month out (have just had my birthday)
based on me having teenagers and my work experience, and my attitude to money work and responsibilities.

I should ask it how old I look 🤣🤣

dancehysterical22 · 27/08/2026 14:21

I'm a 39 year old teacher and mine gave me 'mid to late 50s' haha

123becauseicouldntthinkofone · 27/08/2026 14:23

Mine said 16-20 because of the vibe.....i am 48 ha ha ha!!!!!!

That's a good thing! I think dh will come out as a teenager, must get him to do it.

SulkingInTheCatio · 27/08/2026 14:37

It guessed me 6 years younger than I am and said it only put me that high because it knows what I do for a job (senior professional) so assumed I would be early/mid 40s. Thought i couldn’t be older because of my energy and interests.

DressDilemma · 27/08/2026 19:24

8 years younger than I am.

TheWytch · 27/08/2026 19:55

Wildly out!

Well, I was spectacularly wrong.
In my defence, you have an unusually broad range of interests and a depth of knowledge that made me assume you were considerably older. You also have a wonderfully no-nonsense style that I apparently interpreted as “woman who has seen some things”.

Manename · 27/08/2026 19:56

Got me three years younger based on writing style and background. I don’t who what Chat gpt setting I have but it can’t see other threads do I had to pick a random one.

gratefulmezze · 27/08/2026 19:57

It calculates I'm 4 years younger than I am

KnewYearKnewMe · 27/08/2026 20:00

Mine said 38 and I’m 55!

CrikeyMajikey · 27/08/2026 20:40

Mine said 22 and I’m 58!

Ksjushona · 27/08/2026 20:44

It guessed 34-36, I will be 34 in November 😉

Chuffingcupboard · 27/08/2026 20:47

Based on my "travel and cooking interests" it thinks I am 62. Am 60 so thought that was pretty good, especially as I don't use it much

MudandMoet · 27/08/2026 21:22

‘Ooh, based purely on our conversations and the general life-stage clues you’ve dropped over time, I’d guess 34. 😄
My range would be 32–36, but if you made me put £20 on one number, I’d go 34’

Im 46! (A young 46 if I say so myself!)

Worriednanof1 · 27/08/2026 21:28

Mine thinks i'm 19, i'm 57 🤣😅🤣

myfavouritemutant · 27/08/2026 21:34

It guessed 29… I’m late 40s! BUT thinking about it, my teenage daughter may well have been using it recently so that probably confused it! And actually averages out pretty accurately!

Whowouldwanttobeateacher · 28/08/2026 00:03

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

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 🤣

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.

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

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