In less than three years, ChatGPT has become a daily tool for almost 10 % of the world's adult population. A study published in September 2025 by OpenAI and the NBER provides for the first time a detailed view of the real uses of the platform, based on internal data covering all users (OpenAI, How people are using ChatGPT<\/em><\/a>).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massive and rapid adoption of ChatGPT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 700 million weekly active users<\/strong> in July 2025, i.e. approximately 10 % of the world's adult population<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • More than 2.5 billion messages a day<\/strong>, or approximately 29,000 per second<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Non-work-related uses are now in the majority: from 53 % in June 2024<\/strong> \u00e0 73 % in June 2025<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    • Practical Guidance<\/strong> : about 29 % of uses<\/strong>, including tutoring, teaching and creativity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Seeking Information<\/strong> up sharply from 14 % to 24 %<\/strong> in one year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Writing and editing texts<\/strong> down overall by 36 % to 24 %<\/strong>, but which remains initial professional use<\/strong> (40 % of work-related messages). Two-thirds of these requests concern revision, editing or translation<\/strong> texts supplied by the user.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The programme represents only 4.2 % messages<\/strong>, and conversations of a personal or emotional nature less than 2 %<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
