ChatGPT hits 1.2 billion weekly users, claims ~20% of Google's search volume
AI Analysis
OpenAI's new usage figures show ChatGPT adding roughly 100 million users a month. Voice queries passed 250 million per week.
The headline claim is search share. OpenAI says ChatGPT search now equals about 20% of Google's global query volume. That comparison is self-reported, and the methodology was not disclosed.
The numbers support OpenAI's push into an all-in-one assistant. They come alongside the new LifeVal personal-assistant benchmark and the planned merger of the Chat and Work tabs.
Skeptics on r/ChatGPT say Chat is "now just another AI assistant." Analysts will want independent traffic data before accepting the search-share figure.
