The popularization of conversational artificial intelligence chatbots is spectacular. More and more users use them to answer their questions and needs, to the detriment of the once dominant search engines on the Internet, such as Google, who have been forced to incorporate artificial intelligence summaries that have changed forever the universe of internet searches and SEO positioning in search engines.
Among all conversational chatbots, the most popular is currently chatgpt. Created by OpenAI, currently, according to the company's own data, it receives more than 2.5 billion questions, requests and prompts (executable orders) a day worldwide. Of these, more than 300 million are received from the United States (just over 10%), while the rest come from users who use chatgpt from all over the world.
Getting to the figure of 2.5 billion requests a day is not something nimio. Keep in mind that, only in the month of December 2024, Openai announced, through its CEO Sam Altman, which had exceeded 1,000 million questions and requests per day in Chatgpt.
Now, a little more than half a year later, in eight months, Openai says that not only the figure has been doubled, but that this way of tripling in just a few weeks, before the end of the year. Growth is exponential and surprising, and it does not seem to reduce the rhythm.
As for competitors and alternatives to Chatgpt, of most of them there is not much official information regarding number of users - it is necessary to trust studies of external consultants - and even less in relation to the amount of daily requests received. The same goes for the main search engines, the most affected by the rise of the conversational chats of AI.
For example, Alphabet, the company that owns Google, does not publish daily searches or requests received by the search engine. However, the company has indicated that it receives 5 billion requests a year. If a rule of three is made, it can be established that Google receives 14,000 million daily searches.
Independent consultants reports place in similar figures the number of daily searches that Google receives. It is still much greater than Chatgpt receives, because it is almost six times more, but the distances begin to shorten.
