"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

What are the sources for those numbers? They seem wildly inflated.

Saying 2/3s of all people with Internet access are using AI seems insane. As a general rule of thumb, I think it's a pretty good idea to immediately discount any self-reported usage numbers from publicly-traded tech companies as they've been found to lie again and again.
Yea, I edited my comment. It was a shit source. I still stand by it being widespread though.
