ChatGPT Takes the World by Storm: 100 Million Monthly Users in Just Two Months!

Have you heard about ChatGPT? This AI-powered chatbot app has been making major waves since its launch in November and it's officially a mega-hit! According to a report by UBS, ChatGPT reached a whopping 100 million monthly active users by the end of January, beating the growth speed of major apps like TikTok and Instagram. Can you even imagine? It only took TikTok nine months to reach the same level of users, while Instagram took two and a half years. But ChatGPT? It only took two months!
And the growth doesn't seem to be slowing down either. In just two months, the number of monthly active users on ChatGPT has almost doubled, going from around 57 million in December to 100 million by the end of January. Plus, it's been averaging 13 million daily unique visitors, compared to just six million the prior month. UBS analysts even said in the report, "We cannot recall an app scaling at this pace".
Microsoft has taken notice of ChatGPT's success too, investing billions in the AI firm. And now, OpenAI has just introduced a new $20 per month subscription plan called ChatGPT Plus, giving users 24/7 access to the platform and faster responses from the chatbot.
ChatGPT has been making headlines for its human-like capabilities in coding, writing cover letters, and taking exams, and it's no surprise that it's quickly become the fastest-growing app in history. Who knows what the future holds for ChatGPT and AI technology, but one thing's for sure, it's a game-changer.
