      Well, the chatgpt app on the play store is on place number one for the most downloaded apps, and has been there for ages. I think that less tech affine people (which don’t find their way here) use Chatbots pretty often and that there is demand.

        I mean we all tried it when it first came out. How much is actual use changing month to month? I would be curious how fast or slowly it is growing.

        I really wish companies had to pay for the actual costs. Maybe they wouldn’t force it on people so much.

        An AI feature I would actually use would be a toggle in duckduckgo that hid pages which appear to be generated by LLM.

        Bonus points if it can provide this service in a cheaper way than using an LLM itself.

        Is this paying demand or demand that exists for free services? Now I dont know as much about AI and usage as you guys, but I don’t see any AI companies making profit.

        Just to give more context, running ChatGPT is expensive and not enough people are willing to pay for it. So, there is not enough demand for LLMs for it to be actually profitable… so far.

      Pretty much everyone I know uses AI daily, so there definitely is demand for it. You’re living in an information bubble and don’t know how commonplace it truly is.

      There’s plenty of demand. CEOs and other senior leadership are demanding that it be shoehorned into anything that uses electricity.

      From the general public there is no real demand.

      There is demand from people in leadership positions who have fallen for the hype to force it onto everyone else.

        Let’s face it. These so-called business leaders don’t know jack about work. Thus, the demand comes from a place of hubris.

      It’s being artificially created but unfortunately it’s there. Companies and startups are just slurping the kool aid
