ChatGPT shows a simply phenomenal number of users in just a few months. And it seems that this trend is not about to be reversed.
ChatGPT is the chatbot that has brought artificial intelligence to the fore since last December. A technology that everyone is talking about, and which worries more and more, whether it is the States, or experts like Elon Musk or Sundar Pichai. But a technology that is also increasingly popular according to new figures.
A meteoric rise
ChatGPT is the story of a feature that has experienced a rather unprecedented emergence, attracting all the media fire from its launch. At the start of the year, the AI was astonishing with its ability to answer complete questions, and to produce complex tasks, as a qualified technician would do. So we weren’t surprised to learn that by the end of January, the number of ChatGPT users had reached 100 million.
An impressive figure, which was only the beginning. The AI will even be quickly challenged by another Chat, that of Bing, which uses the same GPT-4 language model. However, according to Similarwebtaken back by The echoesAI had just over 186 million unique users last March.
A UFO in the history of tech
It must be said: this is a unique take-off in history. Especially since the figures quoted above do not really show the full extent of the phenomenon, because if we look at the number of total visits, and no longer of unique users, the volumes are quickly multiplied. Thus, in the month of March, ChatGPT recorded 1.6 billion visits. And over the first 4 months of its existence, this figure rises to… 4 billion!
To locate the exploit, it is simply as much as Bing, Microsoft’s search engine. A parallel that gives even more consistency to the idea that chatbots could in the future be effective alternatives to search engines, even if, it is true, the operation of a ChatGPT still costs more.
