# How people are using ChatGPT

# Claim

New research from the largest study of ChatGPT use shows how the tool creates economic value through both personal and professional use. Adoption is broadening beyond early users, closing gaps and making AI a part of everyday life.

# Relevance

Appendix III, section one: model and benchmark capability evidence

# Oracle Verdict

This belongs in the register because benchmark and model-release claims set the ceiling for the next wave of deployment stories. The labour-market effect is indirect today, but it becomes direct when these gains are packaged into agents, APIs, and enterprise tools.
