More interesting would be the percentage of people that have used GenAI in the past year with a purpose.
I suspect a significant number have just played with it. Likely many didn't make it a habit, let alone ever do anything useful with it. It would be a bit of a stretch to say anyone in this group has 'adopted' AI.

Also how many would continue to use genAI if it weren't artificially cheap/free. Remember that nearly all AI companies are losing money hand over fist, there's bound to be user attrition when the walls close in and they have to start shoving in ads or aggressively upselling paid subscriptions.
