78% of Companies Already Use AI. AI DAU Is Dead.

你刚刷到这条消息，本来准备顺手划走，但又怕自己错过了真正会影响下一步判断的那一点。

最容易做错的，是A scorecard for the AI age；代价往往是如果只盯表面热闹，你很容易在错误方向上花掉时间、预算和注意力。；我先给一个保守判断：AI时代最废的KPI，是AI活跃度。。

My conservative take: the most useless KPI in the AI age is AI activity.

When 78% of organizations were already using AI in 2024, up from 55% in 2023, "we adopted AI" stopped being a differentiator.[S002] After that, seats and DAU tell you presence, not value.

That is why OpenAI's July 17, 2026 post matters.[S001] The argument was straightforward: don't judge AI by seats, activity, or renewals; judge it by how much useful work actually gets completed. A busy chat box can still end with the same manual cleanup.

So the weekly scorecard I want is simple: work completed as-is, work completed after edits, and work handed back to a person. This is based on OpenAI's post and Stanford HAI's 2025 AI Index, not on a benchmark from my own team.

A new AI post is worth your attention not because it lists more features, but because it changes your next decision. If this matches someone on your team who is still reporting AI DAU as progress, share this with them. What completed-work metric would you put on the dashboard first?

真正该讨论的是：A scorecard for the AI age
