A chart based on PNC Bank Consumer Health Check and CBS News says only 2.2% of U.S. households currently pay for AI subscriptions.
- The post points to a steadily rising chart of paid AI subscription adoption from 2023 through 2026.
- The author says the low share makes them feel better about being worried about AI, implying adoption is still quite small relative to the total household base.
- The image suggests growth is accelerating, but the absolute penetration is still low.
It is a simple consumer-adoption datapoint rather than a product launch or technical update.
