ChatGPT, a popular AI tool, is now getting a massive number of questions every day, showing a big change in how people look for information online. This rapid increase might even make big companies like Google think about their future.
How Many People Are Using ChatGPT?
A lot of people are using ChatGPT! Users are now sending about 2.5 billion prompts (questions or requests) every single day. That’s a huge jump from just eight months ago, in December 2024, when it was around one billion. Out of these, 330 million prompts each day come from users in the United States alone. This shows that more and more people are turning to AI for their daily needs.
What This Means for Google
Google is still much bigger when it comes to searches. Its parent company, Alphabet, handles about 14 billion searches every day (which is around five trillion searches per year). However, ChatGPT’s fast growth suggests that many people are choosing AI tools instead of traditional search engines.
This rise in AI usage brings up questions about how AI companies, like OpenAI (who made ChatGPT), will make money, especially since most of their over 500 million weekly active users are using the free version. Even with these challenges, the big increase in ChatGPT’s use hints that the future of searching for information might look very different, with AI chatbots becoming a major player.
