What the source says
That said, ChatGPT still dominates and its reach is growing. A little under half of U.S. adults (44%) now report using the chatbot, up from 34% last year. This is also more than double the share when we first asked this question in 2023.
Checked: the figure 44%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
