It’s 2026 — why are most companies just “pretending to use AI”?

61 2026-03-20

The data is harsh:

90% of companies bought ChatGPT Team, but average usage <5 times per person per month
Companies with 70%+ daily employee AI usage have 18% higher profit margins on average

The difference?Pretending: Bosses order “polish every copy with AI” → becomes empty formalismReal adoption: Embed AI into workflows → 24/7 support, automated A/B testing, minute-level analytics

Brutal truth: AI isn’t a bonus in 2026 — it’s the new minimum standard.Companies ignoring AI are quietly being outcompeted by those that embrace it.

What’s your company’s approximate AI usage rate?
