Abstract
This paper systematically analyzes the adoption of large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, across consumer complaints, corporate press releases, job postings, and United Nations (UN) press releases, covering extensive datasets from January 2022 to September 2024. By late 2024, roughly 18% of financial consumer complaints, 24% of corporate press releases, nearly 10% of job postings in small firms, and 14% of UN press releases involve LLM-assisted writing. Adoption surged rapidly post-ChatGPT release but stabilized by 2024, highlighting generative artificial intelligence (AI)'s broad societal impact and its widespread use across sectors.
