It is instructive that they decided to go with weekly active users as a metric, rather than daily active users.

It is instructive that they decided to go with weekly active users as a metric, rather than daily active users.
They (and other AI players) have been using WAU over DAU for all their metrics, and many have questioned why. But if you look at other data sources of AI adoption, the reason is clear: Even while 56% of Americans now "regularly" use GenAI on a weekly basis, a much smaller percentage 10 - 14% use it on a daily basis. Here's one source but others had similar numbers: https://www.genaiadoptiontracker.com/
56% is much more impressive than 14%.
This may look bad until you consider that all of them are already desperately strapped for compute. I think the lower DAU is due to a combination of that and people still figuring out how to use AI.
