alt Hacker NewsRight, sure. I can burn through some tokens with Codex. (But I can burn through some tokens with ChatGPT, too, and some people spend a lot of time there. Non-programmers use the bot for all kinds of things.)
What's the ratio of regular users to codex users, might you suppose?
If I had to guess, then I'd guess it is a minimum of 100:1, but my gut tells me that it's probably closer to 1000:1.
I think your estimate of RegularUsers:Codex users of (100:1) is probably spot on. Hard to tell, although a Reddit thread exists with an apparent number of 4.2% of "Usage" (whatever usage refers to) is Programming related. [0].
