Why don't we know how people use AI?We actually don't have a clue how people are genuinely using AI tools, because tech companies are only publishing the data that makes their products look good.What happened: AI researchers recently called out major companies like Anthropic and OpenAI for selective data transparency regarding products like Claude and ChatGPT. While these companies regularly publish usage reports, critics argue the releases are essentially curated PR rather than objective science.Key numbers: 2 major AI companies called out by name: Anthropic and OpenAI0 independent audits mentioned enforcing this data transparency100% of released data is filtered by the companies themselvesWhy it matters: If we don't have access to raw, unfiltered usage data, we are blindly trusting corporations to define the societal impact of their own world-altering technology.Bottom line: Asking an AI company to honestly report its own usage stats is like asking a gamer to accurately log their screen time—technically possible, but wildly optimistic.
