On what basis do you know this? Or more like your personal impression — based on asking how many people? Your friends?

I have a wide ranging sample of folks I've spoken to and observed their usage.

		>10? >33? >100? >333? Just informal conversations? Or surveys of some kind? I’m genuinely curious. After studying statistics and research design, I have learned to be very cautious at what I conclude. I often talk with various people outside of my usual peer and work groups, but I wouldn’t know how to get anything close to an unbiased take given the social constraints. Maybe I would notice large shifts over time. Observation: LLMs are pretty new in the scheme of things and information diffusion seems pretty different across age groups, geographies, and professions. This makes it pretty hard to even be confident that one knows how to collect good data.
