Majority of Americans have used AI models like ChatGPT: Survey
A majority of Americans have used ChatGPT-like artificial intelligence (AI) models according to a new survey.
In the survey from Elon University’s Imagining the Digital Future Center, 52 percent said they “use artificial intelligence (AI) large language models,” a category that includes OpenAI’s famous ChatGPT.
Out of that percentage, 5 percent said they use the models “almost constantly,” 7 percent said they use them “several times a day,” 5 percent said they use them “about once a day,” 10 percent said they use them “several times a week” and 25 percent said they use them “less often.” Forty-seven percent said they use them “not at all.”
“The rise of large language models has been historic. In less than two-and-and-half years, half the adults in America say they have used LLMs. Few, if any, communications and general technologies have seen this pace of growth across the entire population,” a report on the survey reads.
Despite Americans appearing to be more comfortable with AI, a recent poll found 55 percent disagree with the government using AI to make choices about eligibility for unemployment assistance, college tuition aid, research investments, food aid and small business loans.
Among 500 users of large language models surveyed in the Imagining the Digital Future Center survey, 52 percent said they use them “for work activities.” Thirty-six percent said they use them “for schoolwork and homework activities.”
The Imagining the Digital Future Center survey for the 500 users of large language models took place from Jan. 21 to 23. and has 5.1 percentage points as its margin of error. Another wider group of 939 people, both users and non-users of large language models, has 3.2 percentage points as its margin of error.
The Hill has reached out to the Imagining the Digital Future Center about the survey dates for the wider group.
