Technology Enthusiast Weekly Issue 387: You Are Ahead

Ruanyifeng says that, out of 8.1 billion people, only 1.38 billion have used AI, or 16%; just 15 to 25 million pay for AI services, or 0.3%. The post adds that only 2 to 5 million people have used AI to create their own coding projects, or 0.04%. The real signal is the adoption gap, not the idea that everyone already uses AI.

Why it matters: This is data-backed commentary, not a product launch or primary reporting. HKR-H/K/R all pass: the angle punctures the 'everyone uses AI' narrative and supplies 16% / 0.3% / 0.04% adoption estimates, but the source basis is unclear here, so it sits at the low end of featured.
