The specifics:
Anonymized data from OpenAI's actual business clients and an AI adoption survey of 100 businesses were collected.
75% of workers surveyed stated AI increased the speed or quality of their production, and another 75% said it allowed them to perform activities that they previously couldn't.
The data revealed significant differences between the top coders, who exhibit a 17x difference, and the top 5% performers, who send 6x more messages than the median.
Power users of ChatGPT reported productivity improvements of more than 10 hours per week, while business users saved an average of 40–60 minutes every day.

Adoption and productivity growth are not surprising, and OAI's analysis confirms what many had suspected: AI is already drastically changing the workplace. The fact that 75% of users are now performing jobs they were previously unable to do is one of the major unlocks, allowing for greater cross-functional productivity than ever before.
