Has AI not already been adopted by the masses?

Absolutely not. I’d wager that a slim majority of Americans have heard of chatGPT, much less have used it, and even fewer have done something useful/productive with it.

Here are stats from 6 months ago, I doubt it’s changed significantly since then:

>about four-in-ten adults under 30 have used it

That seems pretty massive honestly, that's way beyond what I would consider adopted by the masses.

That’s four intern among those that have heard of it. So cut that in half to get the percentage of the population.

Or another way of thinking of it: among people that have heard of your free-to-use product, a majority haven’t bothered to try it.
