Which AIs do you use?

kelper · 2026-06-08T14:56:55-0400

Which AI's do you use regularly? If you use none, please ignore this poll. I can only list ten choices and 'other' or 'none' are not going to appear.

Choices are listed in descending order of approximate monthly CONSUMER users, (MAU)

ChatGPT (OpenAI) – ~380–400M MAU
Gemini (Google) – ~195–400M MAU (depends on inclusion of Google surfaces)
Meta AI – ~1B MAU (embedded in WhatsApp/Instagram/Messenger)
Microsoft Copilot – ~200–400M MAU (Windows + Office + Bing surfaces)
Claude (Anthropic) – ~30–105M MAU depending on measurement scope
DeepSeek – ~90–100M MAU
Perplexity – ~20–80M MAU
Grok (xAI) – ~20–35M MAU
Character.AI – tens of millions (varies, but strong niche engagement)
Mistral / Le Chat – smaller but growing (tens of millions or less)

Not a big AI person but when I want a quick answer I'll hit the Co-pilot button on the PC or the google search bar on my Android phone. That's about the extent of it for me.

I use Grok for general queries, Composer 2.5 for coding, and Gemini (Antigravity) for coding when I’m running low on Composer (Cursor) credits, and Copilot for spelling (Edge right-click rewrite with Copilot).

I've used Copilot for almost 3 years. Copilot knows the specs on my two computers, how I use them, and what I'm working on. For me Copilot has become an invaluable resource.

I started using AIs a while ago, but I realized I could save money by asking my 12-year-old. She knows everything.

jvickers · 2026-06-08T15:57:38-0400

I use ChatGPT to create custom GPTs and Gemini to create Gems for the master's courses I teach. Our university purchased Copilot for us to use, but I've not gotten around to creating custom Copilot bots for my courses. I would rather use Copilot as it protects student data better for us.

I use gemini for coding quite a bit, chat gpt at work for scripts and other things.

Just got access to claude through work recently, have not tried it out yet

Speaking of AI, this was interesting. Meta's AI support bot happily handed Instagram accounts over to hackers.

Poll needs a 'None of the above' or I don't use an AI.

Ghot · 2026-06-08T20:18:54-0400

Occasionally, I use Google AI to give me an idea on where to look for real answers.

Why not? That the number might 'look bad' if it appears here?

Just curious. It's nothing personal.

I would be really surprised if not CoPilot (Microsoft) wins this poll, as almost everyone in here is using Windows 11 as main system..... and copilot is there even if you dont want it to be there. *LOL* :lmao:

(exception of this rule is those few who has uninstalled/ripped out AI from their systems.)

There are so many guides here to do that, though... It's certainly not discouraged.

Besides, if you use one brand of AI, who's to say another brand(s) isn't leaking through... :winkt:

So true, so true... But there is many guides of how to install 11 with local account, but most people uses MS-accounts anyway. :winkt:

I use several AI's.. some cloud based, but a few local LLM's without internet connection as i need 100% privacy on work stuff,

I'm with rk911. I haven't had a need for AI. Maybe I will in the future.

Maybe they should do a poll here on that.

Local accounts on my Win11 laptop and my two Win10 desktops.

Go for it, it can actually be interesting.

I do have one desktop with win10 installed, without MS-account.. I also have one laptop with win10 or if it was win11OEM, that i not have run the setup on, as i installed Linux as Dualboot when i got it.... so that one do not even have a local or ms-account.

So i can actually vote that i dont have an ms-account.

I can guess what the response is likely to be. In most cases, regular participants in this forum are already aware of what/how/why to do this, it's only the un-informed who just happen to wander in, looking for info, who aren't familiar
