OpenAI is hogging the news lately. The maker of ChatGPT is currently working on its ambitious plans to make its generative AI models more useful in our lives, working more akin to a Super Assistant than a generic chatbot. The Sam Altman-led firm has also revealed its grandiose plans of a new companion device co-developed with ex-Apple design chief Jony Ive.
While OpenAI focuses on its growth plans, its existing baby – the world-famous ChatGPT chatbot, is scaling new heights in terms of popularity. Based on a recent study from Bond that elaborates on all the trends in the field of artificial intelligence, ChatGPT seems to be dominating the space.
Here’s a list of all the key findings that the Bond study reveals about ChatGPT
– ChatGPT has a massive growth of eight times in 2.5 years to 800 million monthly users. That’s a rapid growth figure for a new technology platform altogether.
– While it took Google a total of nine years to hit the benchmark of 365 billion searches, ChatGPT took just two years to reach that benchmark. ChatGPT is said to have reached 1 billion searches a day, 5.5 times faster than what Google did.
– Compared to 21 months ago, ChatGPT subscribers reportedly spend 3x more time on the app. This points to an increasing popularity as well as usefulness of the AI chatbot amongst users from various age groups.
– As a result, ChatGPT’s paid subscribers have increased by a whopping 153 per cent per year. The overall contribution to OpenAI’s earnings from ChatGPT amounts to $3.7 billion, thus marking a 10 times increase in a year.
India now the top country to use ChatGPT
The study also revealed ChatGPT’s popularity region-wise and it was India that topped the chart with a share of 13.5 per cent. This was closely followed by the USA with a total share of 8.9 per cent and Indonesia with a share of 5.7 per cent.
