How YOU Are Using ChatGPT

The answer may surprise you.

OpenAI did a study on how 700 million users use ChatGPT

𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆

• 49% = Asking (advice, ideas, explanations)

• 40% = Doing (writing, planning, drafting, some coding)

• 11% = Expressing (reflection, creativity, play)

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗽𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝘂𝘀𝗲

• Writing and editing text, especially improving drafts

• Translating or summarizing content

• Coding is only ~4% of use

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿

• If your work is mostly editing, summarizing, or formatting, AI is already covering that space

• If your value comes from judgment, storytelling, or decision-making, you are safer

• The edge goes to people who combine both: use AI for the heavy lifting, then layer on human context and strategy

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼...𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄

1. Treat ChatGPT as a draft partner, not the final author

2. Ask better questions to get better outputs

3. Build skill in reviewing and refining AI work

4. Lean into judgment, strategy, and insight, the parts AI cannot replace

Don't just ask ChatGPT questions. Find ways to build workflows and automate repetitive tasks. Those who learn to guide, verify, and apply AI will be the ones who stay ahead.

OpenAI published research on detecting AI scheming behaviors. The company developed new safety techniques to identify when models might deceive users or pursue hidden agendas, revealing concerning examples where AI systems tried to manipulate outcomes or conceal their true intentions from human oversight.

Microsoft launched computer use capabilities in Copilot Studio public preview. The feature lets AI agents control desktop applications, automate complex workflows, and interact with any software through clicks, typing, and screen navigation, transforming how businesses can deploy intelligent automation.

Google outlined AI policy recommendations for responsible transformation. The company called for industry standards around safety, transparency, and accountability while emphasizing the need for global cooperation on AI governance and ethical development practices as the technology reshapes society.

OpenAI announced enhanced teen safety measures for users under 18. The updates include stronger privacy controls, content filtering, restricted access to certain features, and expanded parental oversight options while maintaining educational access for younger users.

Zoom's AI tool recommends which meetings employees can skip. The feature analyzes meeting content, attendee relevance, and historical participation patterns to help workers focus on truly important gatherings and reduce meeting fatigue across organizations.

Meta unveiled Ray-Ban smart glasses with built-in displays at Connect 2025. The updated glasses can show notifications, directions, and AI-generated information directly in users' field of view, marking a significant step toward mainstream augmented reality adoption with enhanced AI capabilities for real-world interaction.
