Next newsletter on wheresyoured.at I believe, outside of ChatGPT, that the combined generative AI industry is smaller than Pokémon Go at its peak, with apps like Gemini and Copilot having less than 20 million monthly active users. These unprofitable, unsustainable apps are also deeply unpopular.

do you know if the Copilot number include GitHub Copilot? I've never used the Copilot app or website, but I use the vscode extension all the time

Also curious about this. It’s confusing because Microsoft bought GitHub right? But I’m pretty sure GitHub Copilot is different and not included in this analysis.

right. I think GitHub Copilot is post-acquisition, but it was definitely released before "Microsoft Copilot" was a thing

It sucks to me that they seem ok with this naming collision. They are clearly, imo, favoring the general purpose one just because it has a higher market cap. GitHub Copilot was first and I know people actually use and like it. I use Claude more now I guess but still think (GitHub) Copilot is good
