(Tuesday June 17, 2025 @11:25AM (msmash) from the it's-spreading dept.)


AI use among U.S. workers has [1]nearly doubled over two years , with 40% of employees now using artificial intelligence tools at least a few times annually, up from 21% in 2023, according to new Gallup research.

Daily AI usage has doubled in the past year alone, jumping from 4% to 8% of workers. The growth concentrates heavily among white-collar employees, where 27% report frequent AI use compared to just 9% of production and front-line workers.

considering almost everyone "uses" AI every time they do a google search I suspect the responses varied depending on the interviewee's impresion of what "using AI" means

No, "included in your Google Search" is not what they mean.

Gemini and ChatGPT's MAU numbers are all you need to stop saying stupid shit going forward.

We know how expensive AI s, resource-wise. I wonder if the power consumption is on the same track.

My coworkers that use it are paying ChatGPT between $20 and $200 a month.

I believe you can use it for free too... I don't really know what the advantages of giving them money, or the disadvantages of not doing so are.
