These figures show the growing popularity of OpenAI's flagship product.
Google's parent company, Alphabet, does not publish daily search queries but recently revealed that Google receives about 5,000 billion searches per year, equivalent to nearly 14 billion searches/day. Independent studies have also produced similar results.
Neil Patel from NP Digital estimates that Google receives about 13.7 billion searches/day, while SparkToro and Datos - two digital marketing companies - believe the actual figure is about 16.4 billion searches/day.
However, ChatGPT's growth rate is still very remarkable. Last December, OpenAI CEO Sam altman said ChatGPT received more than 1 billion queries per day. According to altman, the number of searches on the platform has more than doubled in just about 8 months.
ChatGPT's reach of 2.5 billion monthly reminders shows the explosion of users' demand for AI interaction globally.
This popularity also raises many big questions: How to verify the accuracy of AI-generated content? How is user data collected and processed? Who is responsible when AI answers wrongly? Meanwhile, OpenAI's rivals such as Google (with Gemini) or Anthropic (with Claude) are also rushing to boost their competitiveness.
The future is gradually shifting, instead of typing questions into search engines, humans are starting to interact directly with AI. And with more than 2 billion reminders per day, ChatGPT is one of the most popular virtual assistants in the world.
