There's 5 billion people with a smartphone worldwide. The device hurdle is gone. ChatGPT is worse in languages other than English, but it's still so much better than searching on Google. The alternative before ChatGPT was watching time consuming videos on Youtube.

There are more than 8 billion people on this world. By your own account, 3 billion of them do not have smart phones.

> The device hurdle is gone.

Evidently not. There are a lot of countries that still have a smartphone penetration rate of <50%.

We're talking about people with low income here. We're talking about people that cannot even afford bicycles for transportation.
