ChatGPT breaks records by becoming the fastest growing app in history

ChatGPT may have become the fastest growing app in history, as it was estimated to have reached 100 million monthly active users by the end of January. This is according to a report from the Swiss banking giant UBS. The OpenAI-owned chatbot has surpassed 100 million MAUs just over two months after its launch, easily beating the growth rate of major apps like TikTok and Instagram.

It took TikTok nine months to reach the same level of users; It took Instagram two-and-a-half years and Spotify only amassed 100 million MAUs after four-and-a-half years, the report said, citing data from data analytics firm Similar Web. "In 20 years into the web space, we cannot recall a faster ramp in a consumer web application," UBS analysts wrote in the report.

We remind you that Australian universities will return to "pen and paper" exams to cut off plagiarism. Chatbot ChatGPT can be used to write academic texts, so institutions have added new rules that say using AI is cheating. An artificial intelligence expert has warned that universities are in a "race" they may never win. Meanwhile, Microsoft has stated that it is making a "multi-year, multi-billion dollar investment" in the new Artificial Intelligence program, ChatGPT. They described the new deal as the third phase of a growing partnership with OpenAI, but did not disclose the exact investment amount.
