"In a 2009 interview, a 25-year-old Mark Zuckerberg offered a grand prognosis on the human condition. "You have one identity," the Facebook founder said. "The days of you having a different image for your work friends or coworkers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly. Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity.""
"ChatGPT, just three years old, has more than 800 million weekly users, at least 40 times Facebook's audience three years in. OpenAI is now the most valuable private company worldwide. Ten percent of the world's adults use its flagship chatbot on a monthly basis - for writing emails and scouring the web, planning trips, decoding medical mysteries, or finding love."
Mark Zuckerberg promoted a single unified identity and built a social network that shaped hundreds of millions of users' self-presentation through posts, photos, and feeds. Over time, influence on human cognition is shifting toward Sam Altman and OpenAI as ChatGPT reaches hundreds of millions of users and widespread monthly adoption for tasks ranging from email writing to medical problem solving and dating. The cultural emphasis on curating identity is moving toward actively creating desired selves through prompts. Generative AI tools are reconfiguring how people compose, decide, and present themselves across online and offline contexts.
