ChatGPT Hits Major Milestones: 300 Million Weekly Users and 1 Billion Daily Messages

AI chatbots have been the talk of the tech world for some time, but the true scale of their use may surprise you. OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman revealed some eye-popping figures about ChatGPT, showing just how deeply integrated the AI has become in our daily lives.

ChatGPT now boasts an impressive 300 million weekly active users and processes over 1 billion messages each day. Additionally, Altman noted that over 1.3 million developers in the United States alone have built applications and services using OpenAI’s tools. These numbers reflect a rapid surge in ChatGPT’s popularity compared to just a year ago. In February 2023, the AI crossed the 100 million weekly active users milestone, highlighting the explosive growth in just one year.

As OpenAI continues to expand its reach, the company has announced a 12-day livestream event beginning today. These sessions will showcase a variety of new features, including the anticipated video-generating AI tool, Sora. While it’s clear that ChatGPT is continuing to thrive, users should remain cautious about sharing personal data, as it could be a potential risk in future interactions with the platform.
