📰 How ChatGPT Is Quietly Reshaping Work and Personal Life

👋 Hey friends,

When ChatGPT came out, I thought its biggest impact would be at work.

Productivity hacks. Automating tasks. Companies scaling faster.

But this new research from Harvard, Duke, and OpenAI completely flipped that assumption.

Here’s the stat that stopped me cold: 73% of ChatGPT usage today is personal, not work.

Billions of prompts every week aren’t about QBR decks, Jira tickets, or quarterly OKRs. They’re about things like planning birthday dinners, translating WhatsApp messages, writing short stories for kids, journaling late at night, or even asking for workout routines and meal prep.

It turns out the real story of AI adoption might not be productivity.

It might be intimacy.
