The closest figure I could find said that chat gpt sees around 800 million users per week, not per day. The per month statistics at the height of January 2026 was 5.72 billion visits. Which means about 185 millionish (rounding up) per day. The statistics often go from visits to users. I imagine users means unique users and visits can mean the amount of times anyone has accessed the website. Regardless all of this would mean a majority does not use chat gpt

    And what's going to happen when the VC funding dries up and they have to charge what it actually costs to run?

    Regardless, it also means hundreds of millions of people use it and other AI tools on a daily basis. They're not all being forced to at gunpoint. Trying to pretend that the opinions of one's own social circle are "everyone" and that people who disagree do not exist is not a persuasive argument for anything.

    I don't think it's "regardless" at all.

    My point was that saying that "everyone hates this" and "nobody wants this" (what the shirt in the post says) is flatly untrue. Whether ChatGPT has a billion daily active users or 500 million weekly active users or whatever is just trivia that doesn't really change the gist of what I'm saying. Lots and lots and lots of people really like AI tools and use them every single day. Ignoring that fact and pretending like everyone agrees with you is dumb.

    Most people would take the statement as hyperbole. Also, the claim wasn't against all AI use. It's the shoving it everywhere that they say people hate. Even among those I know who use and like AI, they say it's being shoved into things pretty arbitrarily and needlessly. Having it available to use is one thing. Ramming it down our throats is another.

    Sam, please get off of the feddiverse, we don't want AI here.

    If it's something like Google or Windows that's suddenly started generating AI "answers" or whatever when you just use your computer as normal, does that get counted in those statistics?

    I bet it does, and I bet it accounts for a huge percentage of it.
