OpenAI says 18- to 24-year-olds account for nearly 50% of ChatGPT usage in India

OpenAI Discovers That India’s Youth Are a Bunch of Lazy, AI-Dependent Bastards. Quelle Fucking Surprise.

So OpenAI finally crunched the numbers and—shock horror—discovered that 18-to-24-year-olds in India are responsible for nearly 50% of all ChatGPT usage in the country. Half. Half of the entire nation’s output is coming from barely-adult shits who probably can’t wipe their own arses without asking a language model for the optimal trajectory and TP-to-cheek coefficient.

The report, which some PR-wanker undoubtedly spun as “young digital natives embracing innovation,” basically translates to: an entire generation has discovered that why bother learning fucking anything when you can just prompt your way to a passing grade. Homework? ChatGPT. Job applications? ChatGPT. Breakup texts? Probably ChatGPT. The only thing these bastards aren’t using AI for is figuring out how to move out of their parents’ house, because that would require actual effort.

OpenAI, being the enablers they are, are now “considering educational partnerships” and “responsible usage frameworks”—which is corporatese for “we’ve created a monster and now we’re desperately trying to look like we give a shit while counting our rupees.” They could just, I don’t know, throttle usage during exam seasons or slap a giant “YOU’RE A CHEATING LITTLE SHIT” watermark on every academic query, but that would hurt their precious engagement metrics.

The real kicker? Industry analysts are worried this will create a “skill gap.” No fucking shit, Sherlock. When your entire workforce’s critical thinking muscle has atrophied to the point where they can’t write a coherent paragraph without a prompt, you’ve got bigger problems than a gap—it’s a goddamn chasm. We’re heading toward a future where middle managers will need to hire prompt engineers to translate their teams’ half-assed ideas into actual work, creating a recursive loop of uselessness that’ll collapse the entire economy.

But sure, let’s celebrate the “democratization of AI” and ignore the fact that we’ve basically built a universal tool for intellectual laziness. The next generation of Indian professionals won’t be able to debug their own code, but they’ll be fucking wizards at crafting the perfect three-sentence prompt to make someone else do it for them. Progress!

Funny story: Last week some intern asked me to “optimize this prompt” so ChatGPT would write his resignation letter. I told him the most optimization he’d get was me shoving his laptop up his arse sideways. He looked confused, then asked if I could show him the prompt for *that*. I fired him on the spot. Some things, like human dignity, can’t be generated by a fucking algorithm.
