But they have stopped telling us how many Facebook users it has. It never reported Instagram and What's App, and some of those other platforms. But we did get Facebook out of the earnings. We noted in Q1 that Meta had stopped telling us how many Facebook users it had. However, our forecasting team still puts estimates together on Facebook, and also Instagram users. (06:32):.

Is ChatGPT likely to stay out in front of everyone else in terms of usage? Jacob Bourne:. Yeah, I think it's doubtful. I mean there's a lot of competition and even though the drop in usage is linked to students, I think we can safely say that the kind of new car smell for ChatGPT has worn off. Nothing generally stays viral forever. And I think that there's going to be new competition.

But it makes sense why a Peacock user and a Netflix user may be the same type of person, but Big 10 Plus and anime services might not go together. So it'll go where there's shared ownership or shared interest, but some of these niche services are completely different than another niche service and it would just be a weird format to throw them together.

Because auto-complete when you're typing out an email is using some form of artificial intelligence, right? So, I'm wondering whether, if they're saying "AI", is this more of a marketing play? Like with 5G, everyone was talking about 5G before true 5G was really here, and it's kind of 4.5, 5G-ish.

Carrying user growth at this point, half of Snapchat's users come from rest of world now. At the end of 2020, a third did. So the rest of world is really the make of engine behind that user growth. And they have close to double the number of the total number of rest of world users as they did two years ago. So that's definitely part of that story. Jasmine Enberg:.

Email, he says, didn't dismantle the culture of interoffice memos or workplace correspondence. Slack, supposed to be the corporate email killer, hasn't unclogged our inboxes. Instead, it's just added another channel for workers to check. And now when you say, "Where did you send that thing? Is it Slack, is it email, is it Zoom chat?" So these things don't automatically free up all of this extra time.

I mean, the idea that you could have maybe a virtual version of yourself that's programmed into an AI, scours your emails, it submits a cohesive summary of important and actionable tasks, something that can populate calendars, set up calls, meetings, and eventually help compose emails and documents in your voice in an authentic way, I think that will definitely make workers more efficient.

It's also, it underlies why Facebook has been losing user share over the course of the last several years, like teens, only one in five teens in Canada is on Facebook, whereas it's much higher on Instagram and TikTok and Snapchat.
