AI income comparison overstated
Original claim:"Americans making $200K+ are 3× more likely to use AI than those making $25K or less."
Correction: The actual ratio is 1.33× ($150K+: 25.08% vs under $25K: 18.83%). The $200K+ bracket does not exist in HTOPS data — the top bracket is $150K+. Additionally, the $25K–$35K bracket uses AI at 29.28%, which is higher than the $150K+ bracket, revealing a U-shaped adoption pattern rather than a linear income divide.
Action taken: Updated the homepage callout, and rewrote the AI Prosperity Gap article to reflect the corrected data and the more interesting U-shaped adoption story.
AI usage percentage: 27% vs 24%
Issue:The site displayed "27% use AI" in some places and "24.07%" in others.
Clarification: 24.07% is the weighted estimate from HTOPS data. The 27% figure came from Pew Research comparisons. We now use 24% consistently as the HTOPS number across the site. The 27% Pew figure is cited only when specifically referencing Pew data.
