Worldwide AI users in Feb 2026
Came across this illustration from this post on X, where it shows how many users AI does actually have worldwide and puts everything into a context, so you understand how great of a bubble you live in.
I mean, just look at the screenshot:
- ~6.8 billion people have never used AI (84%)
- ~1.3 billion people are free chatbot users (16%)
- ~15-25 million people pay $20/mo for AI (~0.3%)
- ~2-5 million people use AI coding scaffolds (~0.04%)
But when you're on socials, it feels overwhelming. You do not clearly see a path forward for yourself, and you stay anxious and panicked all the time. I think, things are designed in this way to keep us panicked. And looking at the above illustration gives me a slight relief.
I believe this was the original post, but not sure.
