Amid the frenzy that AI will result in mass job losses, there’s one role Gen Zers are secretly hoping the bots will replace: their boss. And 69% are already being polite to ChatGPT just in case.
A 2025 study from essay writing service EduBirdie highlights that one in 10 Gen Z workers are pining for a robot boss.
While wishing for the demise of a manager is nothing new, what’s eye-opening is the reasons why they think the likes of ChatGPT and Gemini would make for a better manager. For one, they ironically think it’d be more human.
Most of the Gen Zers said that AI will be a nicer, fairer, and more neutral boss.
While some think a virtual manager would be a lot smarter than the current human one they have, others predict they’d be able to manipulate AI management easily.
