The Popularity of ChatGTP & X in Kenya

Background

In October 2022, Elon Musk bought Twitter. In June 2023, the service was rebranded as X. Drastic changes in content moderation and account verification have led to controversial discussions.

Formally launched in 2022, ChatGPT, the first, but not last, AI application for the general public, has rapidly been gaining popularity throughout 2023. The encroachment of AI in general across all spheres of life is itself a controversial topic; hence, Chat GPT is not universally welcomed.

To obtain a measure of the popularity of both services among Kenyans, we inserted a few questions in the second wave of our CATI omnibus survey.
