Nah. No one is using Meta AI because it's shoehorned into contexts where you don't actually need it. And that's because these happen to be the only surfaces that Meta controls. They know full well they won't win there, which is probably why they're so desperate for a "hail Mary" in the VR / AR space.

For the average person, what's the most serious / valuable use of ChatGPT right now? It's stuff like writing essays, composing emails, planning tasks. This is precisely the context in which Google has a foothold. You don't need to open ChatGPT and then copy-and-paste if you have an AI button directly in the text editor or in the email app.

What's shoehorned about LLMs in a messaging app? This kind of casual conversation is a significant amount of LLM usage? Open AI says non-work queries account for about 70% of ChatGPT usage. They say that '“Practical Guidance,” “Seeking Information,” and “Writing”' are the 3 mot common topics, so really, how is it shoehorned to place this in Facebook ? [0]

Lol I don't know what else to tell you but that really doesn't matter, but it's not like you have to take my word for it. Copilot is baked in the Microsoft Office Suite. The Microsoft Office Suite dwarfs Google Docs, Sheets etc (yes even for students) in terms of usage. What impact has this had on Open AI and chatGPT ? Absolutely nothing.
