ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence-supported chat bot developed by OpenAI, continues its rapid growth in its user base. The company’s CEO, Sam Altman, announced at the DealBook Summit organized by The New York Times that the number of weekly active users of ChatGPT exceeded 300 million. This development comes just a few months after the platform reached 200 million active users in August.
“Our product has gone through a massive scaling process and we now have more than 300 million weekly active users,” Altman said at the summit. He also stated that more than 1 billion messages are sent to the platform by users daily. It is stated that this growth rate of ChatGPT shows how deep the impact of artificial intelligence-supported technologies on daily life has become.
ChatGPT has grown rapidly since its launch in 2022, reaching a wide user base. OpenAI continues to add new features to the platform to improve the user experience. One of the recently introduced features is an artificial intelligence-based search engine that allows users to obtain information from across the web. This tool provides summaries of users’ questions from the internet. However, it is stated that this feature does not always provide accurate information.
In addition, OpenAI’s new “Canvas” interface attracts attention. This feature provides an important functionality, especially for software developers, by making it possible to edit the codes created by ChatGPT more easily. Thanks to this tool, users can get faster results by making edits to the code.
Siri and ChatGPT integration comes to life with iOS 18.2
ChatGPT’s reach is not limited to the developments made by OpenAI. Apple included ChatGPT integration into Siri with the iOS 18.2 update. This integration, available with the beta version, enables Siri to provide more comprehensive answers. Using ChatGPT, especially when answering complex questions, takes Siri’s capabilities to the next level.
This development is seen as an important step for ChatGPT to further expand its user base. iOS users’ interaction with digital assistants becomes more efficient with this innovation. Supporting Siri with ChatGPT infrastructure contributes to making personal assistants smarter and more functional.
ChatGPT’s growth rate attracts attention not only with its user base but also with the innovative features it offers. This artificial intelligence-supported tool, which has become a part of daily life, is widely preferred for both individual and corporate use. The opportunities offered by artificial intelligence technologies appeal to a wider audience every day, and this continues to shape the future of the industry.
