My impression is that software developers are the lions share of people actually paying for AI, but perhaps that's just my bubble world view.

- wahnfrieden 10mo agoAccording to OpenAI it's something like 4.2% of the use. But this data is from before Codex added subscription support and I think only covers ChatGPT (back when most people were using ChatGPT for coding work, before agents got good). https://i.imgur.com/0XG2CKE.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/0XG2CKE.jpeg
- SoftTalker 10mo agoI'd believe that but I was commenting on who actually pays for it. My guess is that most individuals using AI in their personal lives are using some sort of free tier.
- wahnfrieden 10mo agoYes 95% are unpaid
- hadlock 10mo agoThe execs I've talked to, they are paying for it to answer capex questions, as a sounding board for decision making, and perhaps most importantly, crafting/modifying emails for tone/content. In the bay area particularly a lot of execs are foreign with english as their second language and LLMs can cut email generation time in half.
