ChatGPT has become a major sensation across the globe as an AI-powered chatbot that is being hailed as the next big technological revolution after the internet. The chatbot’s immense popularity across all age groups has resulted in it being the most downloaded technology in history. In just two months, ChatGPT was able to reach 100 million users worldwide, according to data from the World of Statistics, making it the fastest-growing consumer application in history.
Growth Rate of Other Technological Inventions
In a comparison of growth rates with other technological inventions such as mobile phones, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and the World Wide Web, ChatGPT’s growth rate outpaced them all. The growth rate of mobile phones was 16 years, while WhatsApp took 3.5 years, Facebook took 4.5 years, and the World Wide Web took seven years to reach 100 million users worldwide.
TikTok, a Chinese video-making app, took approximately nine months after its global launch to reach 100 million users. A recent UBS study also revealed that in January, an average of 13 million unique visitors used ChatGPT per day, which is more than double the level in December.
ChatGPT has the ability to generate articles, essays, jokes, and even poetry in response to prompts. OpenAI, a private company backed by Microsoft Corp, released it to the public for free in late November. Recently, OpenAI announced a $20 monthly subscription, initially for users in the United States only.
While the AI service may sometimes offer incorrect information, some analysts and experts have suggested that its ability to summarize publicly available data can make it a credible alternative to Google search and a list of search-generated links. Its ability to provide authentic-seeming exam answers and other tasks has brought it into the spotlight as a unique and useful tool.
What is ChatGPT?
Chat GPT is an advanced language model developed by OpenAI, specifically part of the GPT-3.5 series. GPT stands for “Generative Pre-trained Transformer,” which refers to the model’s architecture and training approach.
Chat GPT is used to generate text responses that sound like human and to converse with people. It can understand and produce meaningful and contextually relevant responses since it has been trained on a massive amount of text material from the internet. The model makes use of its expertise in language usage patterns to offer informative and practical responses to a variety of queries.
The primary purpose of Chat GPT is to assist users in finding information, providing explanations, generating creative content, offering suggestions, and engaging in meaningful conversations. It is capable of understanding and generating text in multiple languages, making it versatile for users around the world.
Overall, Chat GPT represents the cutting-edge capabilities of natural language processing and demonstrates the potential of AI to interact with humans in a conversational manner.
