OpenAI says ChatGPT now handles a fifth as many searches as Google
Adam Fry, OpenAI's consumer product lead for ChatGPT, said at a press event on Monday that the volume of search queries run through ChatGPT now equals 20 percent of Google's, The Verge reports. OpenAI counts a search as any query that results in a web search, and Fry did not say where the Google figure came from. He also said ads had not hurt usage of the product, and OpenAI said last month it would begin showing images of sponsored products in ChatGPT. The 20 percent figure is OpenAI's own estimate, not independently verified.
Why it matters: If customers find your business through search, check how ChatGPT answers your key queries about you and your competitors, and track any traffic it sends you. Treat the 20 percent figure as a company claim.
