Core Insights - OpenAI, in collaboration with research teams from Duke University and Harvard University, released a comprehensive 63-page study titled "How People Use ChatGPT," which is the first systematic analysis based on internal dialogue data since the launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 [1] User Growth and Engagement - Since its launch in November 2022, ChatGPT has amassed over 700 million weekly active users by July 2025, representing approximately 10% of the global adult population, marking an unprecedented adoption rate in technology history, surpassing that of the internet and smartphones [3] - The volume of messages sent by users has also surged, with 450 million messages sent daily by June 2024, escalating to 2.6 billion messages daily by June 2025, averaging 29,000 messages per second [5] User Demographics - Initially, 80% of users were male, but by mid-2025, the proportion of female users has surpassed that of male users, indicating a significant shift towards gender balance [7] - Nearly half of the messages originate from users aged 26 and below, with a narrowing gap in usage across different age groups, including a rising engagement among older demographics [7] - Notably, the growth rate of users from low and middle-income countries has outpaced that of high-income countries, highlighting ChatGPT's global penetration effect [7] Usage Patterns - Contrary to common belief, over 70% of conversations are unrelated to work, with the proportion of non-work-related messages increasing to over 73% by mid-2025 [8][10] - The most common themes in user interactions include practical guidance, information search, and writing, which together account for nearly 80% of all messages [11] Work-Related Usage - Within work-related conversations, writing constitutes the highest proportion at 40%, followed by practical guidance at 24.1%, while programming requests are minimal at 4.2% [13] - ChatGPT is increasingly viewed as a "polishing assistant" and "language consultant," with two-thirds of writing-related messages focusing on editing existing text rather than generating new content [13] - The report indicates that approximately 10% of all messages are related to tutoring or educational support, positioning AI as a new generation of personal tutors [13] Economic Impact - An estimated economic value of using generative AI in the U.S. suggests that if users were to forgo its use for a month, they would require an average compensation of $98, translating to at least $97 billion in consumer surplus annually in the U.S. alone [19][20] - The findings suggest that the true value of ChatGPT extends beyond productivity enhancements in work settings, fundamentally altering human lifestyles and thought processes [20]
