OpenAI's ChatGPT alone hit 500 million weekly active users in March, apparently they're closer to 800 million now. I guess they're still working out the monetization strategy, but in the worst case just think of how Google makes their revenue off search..
- LPisGood 1y agoEach ChatGPT query costs orders of magnitude more than a google search. I can’t say for sure how many orders, but I suspect more than a few.
- jallmann 1y agoThe delta might not be that large these days, with the AI suggestions that Google is placing on search result pages.
- esafak 1y agoBecause they have their own hardware.
- twothreeone 1y agoThe first one does, then prompt caching kicks in.. turns out many people ask similar questions. People who frequently ask complicated questions might have to pay extra, we can already see this playing out.
- vineyardmike 1y agoThat’s not what prompt caching is. Also, most ChatGPT users have their “personalization” prefix in the system prompt (which contains things like date/time), which would break caching of the actual user-query.
- mathiaspoint 1y agoThe prompt has to be precisely the same for that to work (and of course now you have to have an embedding hashmap which is its own somewhat advanced problem.) I doubt they do that especially given the things I've heard from API users.
- tough 1y agoyou realise now google is plugging gemini to all their queries and giving you summaries and stuff so maybe not so much anymore? would be true if it was -pure- search on google's part but it isn't anymore

- ares623 1y agoI'm curious why they only publish weekly active users. Isn't it usually monthly active users?
- stogot 1y agoSay: 3 billion users, 20% xconvert to customers (600M) paying 20mo, is a combined 144B. Nowhere near a 1T reality
