    That’s a weird editorializing of the headline, for an article that describes wide spread use, and a market of rapidly growing value.

    For instance a sentence like these:

    This is no longer experimentation; it’s habit formation at an unprecedented scale.

    This rapid adoption drives real dollars: In the two and a half years since OpenAI’s ChatGPT introduced the public to generative AI, consumer AI has become a multibillion-dollar market.

    One of the most surprising findings? Parents are among the most engaged AI users, turning to AI for everyday help.

    Even ChatGPT, with its first-mover advantage, only converts about 5% of its weekly active users into paying subscribers

    Considering there’s a pretty strong free option, 5% is not bad.
    How many pay for using Youtube? IDK but my guess is that it is way less than 5%.
    How many pay for using search? My bet is that we are in the thousandth on that. Yet search is profitable!
