Read Original Source
Hello and welcome to Eye on AI…In this edition: OpenAI and Anthropic detail chatbot usage trends…AI companies promise big investments in the U.K….and the FTC probes chatbots’ impact on kids.Yesterday saw the release of dueling studies from OpenAI and Anthropic about the usage of their respective AI chatbots, ChatGPT and Claude. The studies provide a good snapshot of who is using AI chatbots and what they are using them for.
AI Summary
Main Idea: OpenAI and Anthropic’s new usage studies suggest chatbots are being used more for consumer help and workplace automation than for companionship, which could shape how AI affects jobs and inequality.
Key Points:
- OpenAI said ChatGPT has 700 million weekly active users, and about 70% of messages are non-work related.
- Most ChatGPT use is for practical help, writing, and information, while younger users make up a large share of traffic.
- Claude use is much more work-focused, with coding and automation making up a large share of activity.
- The studies suggest AI is often being used to automate tasks in business, which could increase pressure on jobs more than models that only give advice.

Impact on the People
Negative Impact
The studies suggest AI chatbots may mostly help educated workers automate tasks, which could widen income gaps and put more jobs at risk than many people expect.
Positive Impact
Chatbots may still help students and households with writing, research, and tutoring, and broad use could make some advice and support easier to access.
