Apparently ChatGPT went from zero to a million users in five days[1], at a cost of "single-digits cents per chat."
For perspective the likes of Instagram and Twitter have take from a few months to a few dozen months to get to a million users all while doing less work to service a request for a "page."
Hats of to OpenAI for not falling over more often under a hug of death that doesn't seem to be letting up.

- junofan 4y agoCome on. OpenAI has been around far longer than ChatGPT. I bet Instagram Stories reached a million users in a matter of minutes.
- kblev 4y agoAlso it's fairly common to not be able to use ChatGPT because they're at capacity
- herval 4y agoFB had quite the infrastructure when Instagram Stories was released... not sure that comparison makes a ton of sense?
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoI don't think that many people where actually using OpenAI's products directly. Unlike Instagram.
