Do people actually use gpt-3.5 turbo? Full-fat gpt-4 is 40 times more expensive...

It's the default for the free version of ChatGPT no? That's what the majority of people use.

So, I don't use this stuff, but every time I see someone complaining about it doing something stupid, the response they get tends to be "that's because it's GPT-3, everyone uses GPT-4 now"; I took this on face value.

I think it's a case of tech bubble vs the rest of the world. Most people are not subscribing to the paid version of ChatGPT, but a lot of people who spend a lot of time with these things are.
