Not a fan of this framing, since the Q is "Have you ever used AI chatbots?", which means the number can't go down. If you used AI once and never again, you're still a yes
But looking at those who use AI "almost constantly" or "several times a day", the number is actually way down from 2024: 27%>16%

“.. Almost 50% of US adults reported using chatbots in 2026, up substantially
from 33% in summer 2024 ..
“.. Almost 25% said that they use AI chatbots on a daily basis, up from one-third in 2024 ..”
