User Preferences and Usage Patterns
A survey conducted by YouGov for the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism across six countries between March and April 2024 revealed interesting insights into user behaviors.

Overall, the survey underscored that a considerable percentage of Gen Z individuals had not engaged with ChatGPT, highlighting the evolving landscape of AI app preferences.
