Measured statements
In development Written by fixed rules from this reading’s stored figures. No model writes them.
On Reddit, 138 distinct people posted about GPT Image between 8 and 14 June 2026: 165 posts, an estimated 0.06% of that week's Reddit posts about AI, leaving out spam, bot and incentive posts (98.2% of these posts had an identifiable author).
Reddit · 8–14 Jun 2026 · author coverage 98.2% · 7 days: 7 backfilled
4 more statements withheld. No posts about GPT Image on Hacker News between 8 and 14 June 2026. No posts about GPT Image on Bluesky between 8 and 14 June 2026. No posts about GPT Image on arXiv between 8 and 14 June 2026. No posts about GPT Image on Exa between 8 and 14 June 2026.
What this reading rests on
| Platform | Days counted | How the posts were collected |
|---|---|---|
| 7 of 7 | Loaded afterwards from an archive | |
| Hacker News | 7 of 7 | Loaded afterwards from an archive |
| arXiv | 7 of 7 | Loaded afterwards from an archive |
Not counted: Bluesky, YouTube, Google News and Exa, not being collected yet.
A day counts once it has settled: once the posts still expected for it are below the threshold, or, for posts loaded afterwards from an archive, once they’re loaded. Coverage day by day is in this reading’s conditions. How coverage is recorded.
This reading was made with methods that are still being validated. Every figure says which state it’s in.

GPT Image in each platform’s table
Where GPT Image sits among every ranked subject on each platform. The heavy mark is GPT Image; every thin mark is another subject.
#24 of 42 on Reddit130 people · Claude 15,063 (#1)
42 ranked subjects, each a tick on Reddit’s own people scale, 0 to 15,063. 43 more subjects aren’t ranked: their people figures are hidden (n 0–16 people, below the threshold of 20), so they aren’t drawn.
Not ranked on Hacker News: n 0 people, below the threshold of 20 people.
Distinct people who posted about each subject on each platform, 8–14 Jun 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 13:30Z, from release 2026-W24’s summary table (published). Each strip is on its own scale and nothing is added across platforms: one person can post on several. arXiv and Exa carry articles, which have no authors, so they have no ranking by people.
Attention
How many people posted about GPT Image on each platform, and GPT Image’s share of that platform’s posts. One row per platform, each on its own terms.
n 165 posts · author coverage 98.2% · 7 days: 7 backfilled · sample: 10 posts, one per author
Bluesky. People hidden: n 0 people, below the threshold of 20 people. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.
Hacker News. People hidden: n 0 people, below the threshold of 20 people. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.
arXiv. People not applicable: arXiv posts are articles, which have no authors, so people aren’t counted. Share and posts hidden: n 0 posts, below the threshold of 20 posts.

Posts published 8–14 Jun 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 13:30Z; in development. People count distinct platform identities and are never added across platforms. Share is GPT Image’s posts over all posts AIDRAN captured on that platform in the window. Reddit’s posts include its comments. A normal share is gPT Image's share of each platform's posts in the 1 earlier stored week of the same era (2026-W23), per platform. Its figures are in those readings.

The two communities this reading stores; the rest of the track is posts in communities it doesn’t list.
Posts about GPT Image by community, 8–14 Jun 2026, as of 25 Sep 2026 13:30Z; in development. Each platform is drawn on its own scale. The word after each community is its type: who is there, not what it’s about (users are people who use one AI product; builders build with AI). A post counts once, in the community it was posted in.
Change
Compared with the previous reading of GPT Image, for 1–7 Jun 2026.
| Measure | 1–7 Jun 2026 | 8–14 Jun 2026 |

| People posting about GPT Image, Reddit · In development | 152n 193 posts | n 165 posts |
| GPT Image’s share of Reddit posts · In development | 0.1%n 193 posts | n 165 posts |
In development: Spam, bot and incentive posts were removed with labels that agree with a stronger model at κ 0.65, below the 0.80 needed to drop this mark. The agreement is model-to-model.
In every value: posts not about AI removed (relevance run 8); spam, bot and incentive posts removed (run 9).

Change compares this reading with the previous stored reading of the same subject, usually last week’s, and both endpoints stay visible with their dates. Each value carries its n; open it for its full conditions, coverage included. Stored weeks, above, cross eras, which marks a change in how weeks were captured: March era weeks were rebuilt from archives, with live capture from 7 Mar to 31 May, Archive backfill weeks were backfilled from archives (Reddit, Hacker News and arXiv only) and September era weeks were captured live from 16 Sep and filled in from archives.
