I think there's quite a jump from "ChatGPT has a high user retention rate" to "AI is useful to people". That's like saying funko pops were useful to nerds just because they kept buying them.
Any time there is something new everyone will sign up to try it out. Give it time. Once there are enough intrusive ads, or subtle ads shimmed into answers, social manipulation and political bias once it hits critical mass, rewriting of history, squeezed rate limits, more cost for less rate limits that number will drop if they are honest and/or deleting inactive accounts. The negative features will not creep in until they believe they have achieved critical corporate capture and dependency.

Every single cohort is smiling upward from the past two years. That is insane, especially at their scale! AI is useful to people.
