A lot of people who are fed up with AI use ChatGPT. Being fed up with something doesn't necessarily mean they start pretending it doesn't exist.
Furthermore, where did that number come from? What does "active" mean? What does "user" mean?
I use ChatGPT on occasion for certain tasks. But when I'm doing a web search, I want a web search without AI.
I don't think you understand that there's a difference between a user who wants an AI chatbot and a user who wants to perform a web search, and even if they're the exact same user, they expect for a web search to operate like a web search and not like a chatbot.
I don't think anyone who works in product management at any company in 2026 understands this, so you're not alone.
Theres a difference between users seeking out AI, and PMs cramming AI into previously existing products.
