    Alright. So for purposes of argument, let’s accept all of that. Microsoft and Google are just faking it all, everyone’s tricked or forced into using their AI offerings.

    The whole table from the article:

    # Generative AI Chatbot AI Search Market Share Estimated Quarterly User Growth
    1 ChatGPT (excluding Copilot) 61.30% 7% ▲
    2 Microsoft Copilot 14.10% 2% ▲
    3 Google Gemini 13.40% 12% ▲
    4 Perplexity 6.40% 4% ▲
    5 Claude AI 3.80% 14% ▲
    6 Grok 0.60% 6% ▲
    7 Deepseek 0.20% 10% ▲

    ChatGPT by far has the bigger established user base. How did they force and/or trick everyone into using them?

    Claude AI is growing their userbase faster than Google, how are they tricking and/or forcing everyone to switch over to them?

    None of these other AI service providers, except for Grok, have a pre-existing platform with users that they can capture artificially. People are willingly going over to these services and using them. Both Microsoft and Google could vanish completely and it would take out less than a third of the AI search market.

      They got their user base by being the first ones to have open access to it. Being the first to market OFC gives a massive advantage.

      You are also using flawed logic. This isn’t AI vs everything. This is ONLY the “AI” products compared to themselves. These same exact numbers could happen with 1000 users across the entire world, yet you claim it’s evidence of general public acceptance.

      Flawed logic is bad logic. ChatGPT also sells their services to other corporations, where several of the others are end-user only, so again, you are using flawed logic to pretend like everyone actually wants this horseshit.

        Right, and then everyone chose to go use them.

        This isn’t AI vs everything. This is ONLY the “AI” products compared to themselves

        Every single one of them showed an increase in user growth, Microsoft just didn’t grow as much as the others. They’re not just shuffling the same users around, they’re continuing to gain new ones.

        And as I pointed out in another response to you, chatgpt.com is the fourth-most-visited website in the world. They’re doing that with just a thousand users?
