Which AI are you?

Which AI Are You? (A Personality Test You Didn’t Ask For)

The AI chatbot world has quietly turned into a Rorschach test. The one you use most says a lot about how you work, what you value, and how much you tolerate ambiguity. Below: a breakdown of the “big four” in desktop web market share (Similarweb, mid-2024 data)

‍

1. ChatGPT (OpenAI)

Estimated Share: ~83% of chatbot traffic

If you picked ChatGPT, you are…

The person who googles “best restaurants near me” instead of trying the new hole-in-the-wall.
A practical generalist: efficient, versatile, and not embarrassed to ask “dumb” questions.
Comfortable defaulting to the tool everyone else uses, because it works.

Your demographic profile:
Broadest spread. Skews slightly younger and tech-comfortable. From high school students drafting essays to devs debugging APIs.

The vibe:
The All-Purpose Workhorse. Reliable, rarely exotic. If someone says “AI,” they probably mean you.

2. Claude (Anthropic)

Estimated Share: ~1%, but with very high engagement

If you picked Claude, you are…

The one at the dinner table who reads the original policy paper, not just the op-ed.
You enjoy nuance, long-form thinking, and documents that don’t fit in a tweet.
You quietly judge ChatGPT’s “fast but shallow” vibe.

Your demographic profile:
Professionals, writers, researchers, enterprises. Often those who care about ethics (Anthropic’s “Constitutional AI” pitch resonates here. Source: https://www.anthropic.com/constitutional-ai)

The vibe:
The Thoughtful Partner. Patient, more conversational, less transactional. If ChatGPT is Google, Claude is your grad-school seminar buddy.

3. Gemini (Google)

Estimated Share: 2.2% BUT kind of tricky to measure since real usage is way bigger because it’s embedded into Search, Android, and Workspace.

If you picked Gemini, you are…

You like convenience. Why download a new app when the button is already in Gmail?
You may not call yourself an “AI user” at all — it’s just part of your workflow.
You’re pragmatic: “good enough” matters more than “state of the art.”

Your demographic profile:
Everyone with a Google account (i.e., the internet). Least “elite,” most mainstream.

The vibe:
The Convenient Helper. Always present, never flashy. Gemini is AI in the same way Chrome is “just the browser.”

4. Perplexity

Estimated Share: ~8%, but over-indexed in influence

If you picked Perplexity, you are…

The friend who fact-checks group chats.
You like citations, footnotes, and Wikipedia rabbit holes.
You’re allergic to hallucinations and tired of “10 blue links.”

Your demographic profile:
Researchers, analysts, students, consultants. Heavy concentration of “efficiency maximalists” who want accurate, sourced answers

The vibe:
The Precise Research Assistant. Not the best small-talker, but excellent for briefing notes.

But seriously... our take:

It’s not winner-take-all. Unlike social media, people are using multiple AIs depending on the job. Perplexity for research, Claude for writing, ChatGPT for speed, Gemini for convenience.
Distribution beats “best model.” Gemini proves that ubiquity (baked into Search, Docs, Android) drives adoption more than technical benchmarks.
Vibes matter. Claude is positioning itself as “the thoughtful one,” Perplexity as “the precise one.” These personas are sticky.
