ChatGPT Is The Fastest-Growing Web App In History Claim Analysts
The Register, February 3rd, 2023
Two months to reach 100 million active monthly users, but how many will stay?
Last November, OpenAI launched ChatGPT as a free web interface and took the internet by storm. Data compiled in a study by UBS reported the chatbot had managed to reach 100 million monthly active users by January, which would make it the fastest-growing consumer app in internet history.
The study cited data from Similarweb, an analytics firm monitoring web traffic, indicating that about 13 million unique users on average visited the site every day in January - double the number recorded in December. Other ragingly popular online apps TikTok and Instagram took nine months and 2.5 years respectively to attract the same number of monthly active users, and the number of netizens flocking to ChatGPT continues to grow.
