Teenagers are using Snapchat's "My AI", and have no idea that it's from OpenAI. I don't think people are using ChatGPT out of brand loyalty/preference as much as inertia - they stick to what they first tried unless given reason to switch.
At the end of the day the money to be made from AI won't be $20/mo personal chatbot subscriptions, but corporate and app-integrated (e.g. Cursor) use where the usage is potentially far higher. Companies will chose their faceless AI provider based on cost and capability.
- tehjoker 2y agocan confirm that when i wanted to try using deepseek inertia kept me using chatgpt for a few weeks longer
- SunlitCat 2y agoWell, personally I started out with gemini (when it still was called bard or something like that) but switched over to a paid ChatGPT subscription.
- HarHarVeryFunny 2y agoThat's an understandable switch, but I expect that if you were starting today with something much more capable, such as Gemini 2.0 Flash, or Anthropic's Claude, you'd probably find no reason to explore alternatives.
- paul7986 2y agoAs of now and past six to 8 months Im a happy GPT pro subscriber. I tried Gemini and asked it show images from Google images (a few weeks ago) of XYZ and pathetically it said it couldnt do it but GPT can. Rooting for GPT and hoping for a GPT phone where the lock screen is where you interface with your AI Assistant / Agent. It also interfaces with other AI Agents (businesses, family members, friends, etc) to get things done for you automagically. You can skin your AI Assistant / Agent to look like whoever you want.
- skyyler 2y agoAre teenagers still using Snapchat? The teenagers that made the bulk of its users when it was new are in their late 20s now.
- decimalenough 2y agoYup, they are, their DAUs are steadily marching up.
- nukem222 2y agoI'm assuming they've filled the app with ads by now?
- parliament32 2y agoSurprisingly, there aren't any, unless you go doom-scroll the celebrity stories. The only thing I get is an occasional IAP upsell to their premium features.
- femiagbabiaka 2y agoIt’s way more ubiquitous now than it was when I was using it in college in the 2010s. An underrated growth story IMO.
- _--__--__ 2y agoMy extended family (mostly people in that late 20s through early 40s range) use a snapchat group to share the kind of videos of our kids that most would appreciate seeing but which really don't belong on normal social media
- lucyjojo 2y agofor my family (20s to 80s) we use FamilyAlbum from Mixi. It's quite nice.
