ChatGPT is the fastest growing app of all time

  100 million users in two months.

OpenAI's artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT is the fastest-growing app in history.

This is according to a UBS study (via CBS News(Opens in a new window)), which claims that ChatGPT had 13 million unique visitors per day in January, which is more than double the visitors it had in December. ChatGPT has only been around two months (can you believe it?), and it already has 100 million monthly users, the study concluded.

The study, which cites data from analytics company Similarweb(Opens in a new window), positions ChatGPT well over other fast-growing apps such as TikTok and Instagram. In comparison, it took nine months for TikTok to reach 100 million monthly active users; for Instagram, it took two and a half years.

"In 20 years following the internet space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer internet app," USB's analysts wrote in the study.

The report comes just a day after OpenAI launched ChatGPT Plus, which is a paid version of the chatbot. It costs $20 per month, offering users access to ChatGPT during peak usage times, faster response times, and priority access to new features.

ChatGPT has been immensely popular almost immediately after launch, with people using it for a wide variety of tasks, ranging from writing silly poems, to cheating in college essays, to having the bot write malware. Microsoft, who was a previous investor in OpenAI, recently invested an additional $10 billion into the company, and is said to be working on integrating ChatGPT into some of its services, including Bing(Opens in a new window). ChatGPT also caught the attention of Google, who is said to be developing several public-facing AI tools of its own(Opens in a new window).

  1. It seems about as smart as the AI Smarterchild from 20 years ago on aol, doesn’t seem much more complex or give better answers, it’s just that people forgot about ai chatbots and now they came out with a new one and promoted it highly so now ppl are back to using it.

    2. Nobody did back then, there was only flip phones and you didn’t use your phone you used a computer, we had a windows 98 model when I was first going online.

    3. Claiming it is about as good as smarterchild either means you haven’t used it or you’re not using it in a manner that exposes exactly how powerful it is. People didn’t stop using chatbots, Replika has been all over the place and this outperforms replika at any task that isn’t basic friendly made up conversation.

    3. it’s totally linked. The chat GPT will SAVE tons of everyday workload (including your power, your heat at the hypothetical office you had to go to finish your inefficient manual work 😉) anyway, I think it is revolutionary.

    4. the AI only releases about 8 tons of carbon into the air per year……….

  3. Don’t you get the feel that in a short time the almighty famous “functional analphabetism” (i.e. the ability not to understand and take actions and behaviors upon what you’re hearing and reading basically) will be solved by AI?

    1. ain't that a bi*ch, remember the jobs replaced by the internet boom in the early 2000's helped create a new set of jobs by replacing the old redundant manual labour work, with this alot of jobs will become redundant but it will create a space for new jobs with much higher requirements of a skillset than the present one. It's actually a boon required in today's world for example free legal council for the ones who can't afford, though it won't change the need for a good lawyer but it will help the poor understand their options, free development of apps who even a novice would be able to create, creating a possible world where more ideas that are restricted due to various reasons will flourish and more unicorns will start popping up. I for one am excited. Look at the bright side not the gloomy side of it

  18. I like to write and I’m “old” so I don’t use the program.

    I’m more personally interested in there art program DallE that does a lot of the poster art for said writings.

    But I do welcome this app that can write said writing much faster cheaper and efficiently as I . And I am comfortably content being obsoleted by it .

    But does it have the same heart and passion? Do ppl even care ? That’s what remains to be seen to us
