The crazy rise of ChatGPT continues. According to a study conducted by UBS, The OpenAI chatbot has reached around 100 million monthly active usersmaking it” the fastest growing consumer app in history “.
100 million monthly active users
Launched in December as an iteration of GPT-3, ChatGPT is already hugely successful and buzzing around the tech industry, so much so that Google is wary of it and Microsoft has announced a $10 billion investment in OpenAI.
This conversational AI, or language processing model, is capable of conversing in the same way as a human being and as a result is enjoying immense popularity, even more than previously thought.
The tool already has more than 100 million monthly active users. To confront, It took TikTok nine months to reach this figure, and Instagram about 2 1/2 years. About 13 million unique visitors used ChatGPT every day in January, doubling the number of users compared to December.
” In 20 years of monitoring the Internet space, we can’t recall a faster rise than a consumer Internet application writes UBS researcher Lloyd Walmsley.
A paid version has just been launched
This heavy use of ChatGPT is expensive for OpenAI, as it represents a colossal IT cost to the business. In order, in particular, to cover these expenses, has just introduced ChatGPT Plusa $20 monthly subscription that gives you access to new features, as well as benefiting from less consistent top-up times.
Allowing you to generate articles, dissertations, jokes and even poems, ChatGPT has multiple uses that can be applied across many industries. Going forward, Google won’t be the only conversational AI working on its own model.
However, the democratization of this technology raises questions. For example, schools have decided to ban it fearing their students will use it to cheat. It also questions itself from an ethical point of view: formed on texts from the Internet, it can be subject to disinformation or discriminatory prejudices.
