The original headline says "but few have tried it," but reaching over 1/10 of the population as actual users in under 6 months seems crazy impressive right? And also, that a quarter of the people who have heard of your product have also used it? I would say both of these numbers are really impressive, not just the first one.

It definitely sounds impressive, yeah. Does anyone have data on products with similar growth trajectories? I'm thinking of Google, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and more faddy trends like Pokemon Go. Unlike some of those, ChatGPT seems like it has real staying power. I'd love to see their retention numbers.

    As far as I can tell, all of these are signups, some even paid signups except for chatgpt. Moreover, chatgpt is a service offered by - while far from a household name - an established player. OpenAI was founded in 2015. They got their 1 million users in 2022, after 7 years, not 5 days. And lastly, there’s over a decade between chatgpt and the newest player on that list

I wonder if 'ChatGPT' is being used as a generic noun by a lot of those surveyed, I can possibly stretch my belief to believing 14% of people have tried some form of conversational AI, including bing, bard, and random chatbots, but for it to be specifically ChatGPT seems high.
