Well, the chatgpt app on the play store is on place number one for the most downloaded apps, and has been there for ages. I think that less tech affine people (which don’t find their way here) use Chatbots pretty often and that there is demand.
Just to give more context, running ChatGPT is expensive and not enough people are willing to pay for it. So, there is not enough demand for LLMs for it to be actually profitable… so far.
Last I heard, which I don’t have any sources for so could be completely wrong for all I know, but some of the big LLM providers do make enough money off of their users to pay for inference and infrastructure. And the only reason they aren’t profitable is because of the insane amount of money they spend on developing new models.
Is this paying demand or demand that exists for free services? Now I dont know as much about AI and usage as you guys, but I don’t see any AI companies making profit.

I mean we all tried it when it first came out. How much is actual use changing month to month? I would be curious how fast or slowly it is growing.
I really wish companies had to pay for the actual costs. Maybe they wouldn’t force it on people so much.
An AI feature I would actually use would be a toggle in duckduckgo that hid pages which appear to be generated by LLM.
Bonus points if it can provide this service in a cheaper way than using an LLM itself.
The only interaction I ever sort of chose to have with AI was asking Gemini how to turn it off.
It was unable to help me.
