A-I ISN’T JUST A TOOL
 IT’S BECOMING A DAILY HABIT FOR MILLIONS OF AMERICANS.

AND A NEW STUDY IS REVEALING JUST HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE USING LARGE LANGUAGE MODELS LIKE CHAT G-P-T AND GEMINI.

BUT BEYOND SIMPLE SEARCHES AND QUICK RESPONSES
 SOME USERS ARE EVEN FORMING DEEPER MORE HUMAN-LIKE INTERACTIONS WITH A-I.

AS FIRST REPORTED BY N-B-C NEWS
 A NEW STUDY FROM ELON UNIVERSITY FINDS THAT 52-PERCENT OF AMERICAN ADULTS HAVE USED AN A-I LARGE LANGUAGE MODEL – INCLUDING CHAT G-P-T
 CLAUDE
 COPILOT AND GEMINI.

OF THAT GROUP
 WOMEN EDGE OUT MEN IN USAGE AT 53-PERCENT.

BREAKING IT DOWN FURTHER BY DEMOGRAPHICS – 66-PERCENT OF HISPANIC AMERICANS USE A-I COMPARED TO 57-PERCENT OF BLACK AMERICANS AND 47-PERCENT OF WHITE AMERICANS.

YOUNGER ADULTS LEAD THE WAY
 WITH 77-PERCENT OF 18 TO 29 YEAR OLDS USING A-I.

A-I USAGE IS ALSO HIGHER AMONG THOSE WITH HOUSEHOLD INCOMES OVER 100-THOUSAND DOLLARS AND PEOPLE WORKING FULL TIME JOBS.

IT MAY NOT SEEM SURPRISING THAT MORE THAN HALF OF ADULTS USE A-I
 BUT WHAT IS* INTERESTING IS HOW PEOPLE ARE INTERACTING WITH IT.

THE STUDY FOUND THAT 65 PERCENT OF USERS HAVE HAD ‘SPOKEN CONVERSATIONS’ WITH A-I
 AND MORE THAN A THIRD OF THEM DO SO SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK.

WHILE CHAT G-P-T WAS THE MOST POPULAR TOOL AMONG THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE STUDY
 FINDINGS AT ELON UNIVERSITY ALIGN WITH THE RISE OF A-I COMPANION APPS – WHICH WEREN’T SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED IN THE RESEARCH.. BUT ONES THAT *ARE GAINING ATTENTION.

ONE OF THE MOST WELL KNOWN IS REPLIKA
 A CHATBOT DESIGNED FOR ROMANTIC OR COMPANION STYLE INTERACTIONS – PROVIDING EMOTIONAL SUPPORT THROUGH TEXT AND EVEN VIDEO CALLS FOR PRO USERS.

ANOTHER GROWING APP IS KINDROID
 WHICH TAKES A-I COMPANIONSHIP FURTHER WITH GROUP CHATS WITH MULTIPLE A-I PERSONALITIES
 AND REALISTIC VOICE INTERACTIONS. 

SO WHILE A-I IS BECOMING MORE POPULAR AMONG AMERICAN ADULTS
 IT’S ALSO RAISING CONCERNS. 

THE SAME STUDY FOUND 63-PERCENT OF AMERICANS BELIEVE A-I WILL LEAD TO SOCIAL ISOLATION BY REDUCING HUMAN TO HUMAN COMMUNICATION.

AND 59-PERCENT FEAR IT WILL LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF JOBS.
