I'm curious what the distribution is with relation to how it is being used.

I wonder how many have paid for access to GPT-4. GPT-4 was a total game changer for me.

As someone who never used GPT-4, what is so good about it?

All the teachers at wife’s school use it like crazy to help with writing crazy long report card comments for students. Usually a 40 hour task 6-8 times a year.

School requires multiple paragraphs per student.

It's great but the usage limit is crazy to me. Sometimes I need to use lots of small messages, and run through them way too quickly

Wow that is significantly more than I would have guessed. Fun little comparison, it took until 1996 for 14% of North Americans to have used the internet.

Plugins and web browsing. You can enable web browsing for it. It will search the internet for you and read the articles, sites and get back with some pretty decent information

At the risk of anthropomorphizing, GPT-4 is smarter. It writes better code, hallucinates less, and is just generally more helpful.

The original headline says "but few have tried it," but reaching over 1/10 of the population as actual users in under 6 months seems crazy impressive right? And also, that a quarter of the people who have heard of your product have also used it?

I would say both of these numbers are really impressive, not just the first one.
