it’s “% of U.S. adults who say they ever use AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot”. They didn’t ask about regular use, it’s the total number of people who have ever used a chatbot in any capacity. So with that framing 49% doesn’t surprise me.

It’s like asking: “do you use a motor vehicle?” And then counting everyone who has ever been in a car, a truck, a bus, or potentially even a train as a yes. It plainly conflates active users with exploratory or incidental users.
The only reason to do such things is to inflate numbers because being honest about them makes it look bad.
