🤔 Unpopular Opinion: The AI Hype in Industry is Overvalued — Here’s the Reality We keep hearing: “ChatGPT is transforming workplaces, automating jobs, replacing coders.” But new OpenAI + NBER research tells a very different story: 📌 70–73% of ChatGPT use is personal, not work (up from 53% last year). 📌 Programming is just ~4% — the coder-replacement myth is overblown. 📌 Nearly half of all messages are about “asking” (information, advice). 📌 Practical advice, tutoring, and writing dominate — everyday life > corporate automation. 📌 Growth is fueled by new users; seasoned users have plateaued → novelty fades. 📌 18–25 year olds lead usage, skewing heavily toward personal, not professional. 🔥 AI is not (yet) a “work replacement machine.” It’s becoming a personal advisor, guide, and everyday companion. 🔥 👉 Companies that frame AI only as a productivity tool risk missing the real opportunity... #AI #FutureOfWork #ChatGPT #ArtificialIntelligence #Leadership #Innovation #Strategy #DigitalTransformation #AIFacts #BusinessInsights
