Over 400 million people use ChatGPT. Likely more use openai
In the Monday announcement, OpenAI claims the recently updated version of GPT-5 responds with “desirable responses” to mental health issues roughly 65% more than the previous version. On an evaluation testing AI responses around suicidal conversations, OpenAI says its new GPT-5 model is 91% compliant with the company’s desired behaviors, compared to 77% for the previous GPT‑5 model.
I don't particularly like OpenAI, and i know they wouldn't release the affected persons numbers (not quoted, but discussed ib the linked article) if percentages were not improving, but cudos to whomever is there tracking this data and lobbying internally to become more transparent about it.
1m out of 500m is way less than i would have guessed. I would have pegged it at like 25%
I think the majority of people use it to (unreliably) solve tedious problems or spit out a whole bunch of text that they can't be bothered to write.
While ChatGPT has been intentionally designed to be as friendly and conversational as possible, I hope most people do not see it as something to have a meaningful conversation with instead of as just a tool that can talk.
Anecdotally, whenever I see someone mention using ChatGPT as part of their decision-making process it is usually taken less seriously, if not outright laughed at.

Not very informative. I want to know what percentage is the us and if it increased in the last year.
Charles Manson would have been happy seeing OpenAI cult evolve.
That's crazy
