OpenAI’s ChatGPT has quickly climbed the ranks to become one of the most talked-about AI platforms, popular with business groups seeking productivity and efficiency. However, a new report suggests ChatGPT’s traffic is beginning to flatten, while its closest competitor, Google’s BARD, is catching up. Despite the buzz around ChatGPT, Google remains the most popular website in the world.
ChatGPT enjoyed a meteoric rise last year, registering 1.8 billion website visits in May. However, its popularity has slowed, with growth limited to users interested in AI for business or leisure purposes. When compared to Google, ChatGPT traffic pales in comparison. While AI researchers and influencers debate its potential benefits and perils, GPT4 is set to bring new upgrades to the generative AI era.
While ChatGPT could lead to job losses, its ability to replace Google and other search engines remains unproven. If the technology is adopted by 300 million people in developed economies, the risk of job losses due to automation and AI might be limited. While ChatGPT’s traffic numbers have slowed, its future remains intriguing, with new upgrades to come.
