OpenAI Says ChatGPT Has 100 Million Weekly Users

100 million people are using ChatGPT on a weekly basis, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced at its first-ever developer conference on Monday. From a report: Since releasing its ChatGPT and Whisper models via API in March, the company also now boasts over two million developers, including over 92 percent of Fortune 500 companies. OpenAI announced the figures as it detailed a range of new features, including a platform for building custom versions of ChatGPT to help with specific tasks and GPT-4 Turbo, a new model that has knowledge of world events up to April 2023 and which can fit the equivalent of over 300 pages of text in a single prompt.

Of course. AI is like search. You learn from the interactions with the users. ChatGPT is gathering a huge amount of data about how users respond to all sorts of different ChatGPT output and using that to refine their future models. Think about the fact that the most valuable thing that Google has to maintain its effective monopoly on search is the fact that most people use Google so they get to see which result you click on and (from whether you try a similar but different search just afterwards or not) whe

In a stunning turn of events, 100 million users have decided that talking to a text box is more riveting than their day jobs. OpenAI's ChatGPT, now with more developers than there are Star Wars Extended Universe novels, has taken over the professional world. And in today's conference, OpenAI unveiled GPT-4 Turbo, capable of remembering your birthday, your cat's favorite food, and the entire script of "The Empire Strikes Back." Now, if only it could get your VR headset to stop fogging up...

Scammy site

Scammy site requires you to enter a phone number so they can spam you before you can try the fancy toy.
Which articles have not made sound all that impressive.
It can either helps you write bad code, or generate a background image for your phone.

Maybe there are other uses that aren't as flashy headline wise.

If you run a content mill website it's probably useful.

I'd say farming karma on Reddit, but these days if you write a post that's longer than a Tweet (are we still calling them that after the site was renamed to X?), people accuse you of having used ChatGPT and downvote you straight to hell.

Bots up the bot

Replaced Google

[slazzy]

For me it's replaced Google plus whatever random website for a lot of things. One of the main reasons is standard method of displaying of information and no advertising. Advertising has such a waste of time lately becoming more difficult to close and find the information you're looking for.

I once used ChatGPT to try to find an episode of a crime drama show from 10 or so years ago that I didn't remember the name of the episode or the show itself. It was about a single man who kidnapped women making them help raise his only son, then killing the woman afterward. He installed locks on the doors that required a key to get out, and he installed Lexan or something like it over the windows, making it escape and soundproof. One of the scenes showed the woman trying to scream out of the big living roo
