this is such a terminally online thing

I don't like surveys like "what percentage of people say they have used AI" because some of them will consider google results to count, where it's basically automatic and often ignored

however, smartphone downloads require intentionality, and all of the AI apps have been at the top of the downloads chart since they were introduced, it was ChatGPT for over a year and they were just supplanted by Claude

it's estimated that 15-25% of all people worldwide have downloaded an AI app on their smartphone, 30-40% within the US

and people wouldn't go out of their way to download it if they didn't find it useful for something

Yup. I was a huge LLM skeptic, closer to anti AI than most, and even I downloaded Gemini to my phone. It works better than Googling for things and beats posting questions on Reddit/forums because that's kind of annoying to other users.

I've had problems with a bread recipe I like so I took a photo and asked Gemini what was wrong. it told me my proofing wasn't long and/or warm enough. Proofed it a bit longer with the oven light on after that and the problem is gone.
