Jason Saltzman(@saltzman_jason):The businesses getting the most out of AI right now aren't tech companies. They’re plumbers, agency owners, dentists, Etsy sellers. New data from @OpenAI (cc @RonnieChatterji) makes the pattern clear: tech startups account for about 5% of ~active~ U.S. users doing entrepreneurial work with ChatGPT. The other 95% are spread across services, retail, healthcare, and trades. AI adoption for entrepreneurship isn’t concentrated in tech. It’s happening inside everyday businesses, folding into routine work that used to be slower or outsourced or entirely overlooked.
