In particular, data acquired by Finbold indicates that between June 2023 and August 2023, ChatGPT recorded an estimated average of 1.51 billion monthly website visits to Chat.openai.com. The figure places ChatGPT in the ninth position overall among the top ten websites by visits with the AI platform ahead of the streaming giant Netflix, which registered 1.49 billion trips during the same period.
Meanwhile, Google.com, the Alphabet-owned search engine, continues to dominate the digital arena with a staggering 85.41 billion visits. Following closely behind is YouTube, with 33.56 billion visits. Facebook, a product of Meta, secures the third position overall with 17.2 billion, while Instagram occupies the fourth spot at 6.68 billion. X (formerly Twitter) holds steady with 6.48 billion visits.
Other websites on the top ten list include Wikipedia.com (4.41 billion), Yahoo.com (3.65 billion), and Amazon.com (2.46 billion).
Drivers of ChatGPT growth
The research explored some of the factors driving the meteoric rise in the ChatGPT website visit numbers. According to the research report:
“ChatGPT’s website places the platform among the fastest-growing entities on the internet, considering it less than a year since its launch. Indeed, OpenAI launched the tool at a point when other established traditional players held back due to the uncertainty associated with interactive AI platforms, such as the potential harm it could cause, like spreading misinformation or hate speech. What distinguishes ChatGPT is its remarkable ability to deliver personalized and diverse content recommendations, answer inquiries, provide comprehensive explanations, and even aid in creative endeavors such as writing, coding, and idea generation.”
The astonishing surge in website traffic for ChatGPT is a compelling testament to the transformative power of AI that’s likely to shape the digital space.
