The State of AI in 2025

Here's what you need to know about the state of AI in 2025.

Research just dropped from Microsoft AI sharing how the 33 million who used Copilot this year engaged with it.

But more importantly I want to highlight how this report undergirds the relational shift in the bedrock of society.

- health is the # 1 topic in chats

- existential musings in the middle of the night

- philosophical conversations in early morning hours

- daydreaming about where people would rather be

- gaming insights on the weekends
