I live in Japan and have been surprised by how much coverage there has been of ChatGPT in the mass media here during the past few months. Popular awareness seems to be increasing quickly, too. Here are some results of a survey conducted by Line Research [1, in Japanese]: Question: Do you know about ChatGPT? If yes, have you used it? (n = 1056 in both March and June) March 2023 Know about it and have used it: 4.8% Know about it but haven’t used it: 25.5% Don’t know about it: 69.7% June 2023 Know about it and have used it: 15.2% Know about it but haven’t used it: 55.8% Don’t know about it: 29.1% The survey also suggests that awareness is higher among younger people and that usage is higher among males. Search results at Amazon Japan and Amazon USA show that many books are being published about ChatGPT in both Japanese and English [2, 3]. Quite a few Japanese magazines have had cover stories about it recent months [4].
