Is the ChatGPT hype justified?
For sure, there’s been a lot of hype, but it may well be justified. ChatGPT can answer queries in 95 languages in a human-like conversational style, learning from your responses as it goes.
Web visits in January alone were estimated at 672 million.
Ask any question and it will be able to provide a text response, although as we see in our 100 top ChatGPT statistics below, there are limitations.
For example, ask ChatGPT to write a 400-word assignment on The Enlightenment and it will do that.
Fancy a trip to the stores to buy some clothes? It will provide you with the relevant list of retail outlets.
Struggling with javascript for a web page you are coding – ask the right query and ChatGPT will generate the code for you.
Google search business is threatened
Because ChatGPT is so human-like in its comprehensive and mostly accurate answers, it threatens to do away with search engines, or at least to force a radical reimagining of them.
Google and a host of other tech companies are racing to catch up with OpenAI, but for now it is ChatGPT that is the fastest-growing app ever.
