ChatGPT alone had over 400 Million weekly active users in February (and seem to have hit 500M) and was the 6th most visited site in the world last month.
This is software that was introduced to the public in Nov of 2022. To put it frankly, it's the fastest growing software service ever.
Google, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter were the only sites with more visits. It's close enough to Twitter that it may well overtake it this month.
It's not up for debate. LLMs absolutely have that "wow" factor.
