ChatGPT IS personal tutor and therapist to several high-powered CEOs.
This week, the CEO of Salesforce Marc Benioff sat down with the CEO of Nvidia Jensen Huang to discuss the future of AI in a main conversation IN Dreamforceannual Salesforce event held September 17-19.
“I would think it would be very difficult to go to school in the future without your personal tutor to help you with things,” Huang said. “Honestly, I have my personal tutor today. I use ChatGPT.”
Huang, whose AI chip manufacturing company powers ChatGPT, explained that he turns to the chatbot to reason through problems, learn new things, and break down complex topics into understandable chunks. In the future, everyone could have their own personal AI tutor, he said.

Benioff replied that he uses ChatGPT “mostly as my therapist.”
“Well, it seems to be working, you look pretty cool,” Huang joked, adding that he is using paid version of ChatGPT for “the highest quality tutoring.”
Benioff didn't say which version he uses, but added criticism to the chatbot, saying it needs more context and memory to remember previous conversations.

What is the key to longevity as a CEO?
Huang has been Nvidia's CEO for more than 30 years and said in the keynote that the two conditions for longevity as a CEO are not to get bored and not to fire.

“I'm running all the time,” he said. “I don't know where this is coming from Marc. I think I should sign up for the same therapy.”
Nvidia is third more valuable company in the world, after Apple and Microsoft. It included about a quarter of the entire 17% return of the S&P 500. Its market power worries investors; Huang said earlier this month that the intense demand for the company's AI chips is his the biggest concern.
Nvidia's latest earnings report showed triple-digit growth for fourth quarter in a row. Revenue grew 122% year over year to $30 billion.
