Is there any rough estimate on what total end-user spend (including ads and indirect monetization) on LLMs is running at? (So not counting stuff like ChatGPT wrappers that are paying for API calls but not charging end-users)

OpenAI has something like 100k paid subscribers at $20/month last I heard.
