Chatgpt Has 800 million weekly active users. That's roughly 10% of the planet.
I get that it's not the panacea some people want us to believe it is, but you don't have to deny reality just because you don't like it.

There are all sorts of numbers floating around:

This one claims 20m paying subscribers, which is not a lot. Mr. Beast has 60m views on a single video.
A lot of weekly active users will use it once a week, and a large part of that may be "hate users" who want to see how bad/boring it is, similar to "hatewatching" on YouTube.

It is for a B2C with $20 as its lowest price point.
>A lot of weekly active users will use it once a week
That's still a lot of usage.

And they're doing this every week consistently ? Sorry but that's definitely not a 'large part' of usage.
Sure, because it's free. I doubt most users of LLMs would want to even pay $1/month for them.
how much of the world would you guess be willing to pay for, say, instagram?
Sure, you could try to load ChatGPT with adverts, but I suspect the cost per user for LLMs is far higher than serving images on instagram.
