I mean, "ideally" (to AI companies) those 3% would be the people who use it the most, so businesses and employees who get real value out of the stuff. Depending on who are considered AI users, it's not awful as a B2B thing. Selling to the general public is definitely a no-go though.

"businesses and employees"

the business pays for it, the employees "use" it.

the business measures the value by how many employees they can remove.

if the business is measuring "productivity", how are they doing that? Is it jira tickets? Is it timesheets? are they measuring quality? Is it starting to seem like you're trying to pick up water with your fingers?

if you pretend that ai ceos are actually doing marketing the trajectory is right there staring you in the face

I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make is.
