>Gemini is catching up to chatpt from a MAU perspective
It is far behind, and GPT hasn't exactly stopped growing either. Weekly Active Users, Monthly visits...Gemini is nowhere near. They're comfortably second, but second is still well below first.
>ai overviews in search are super popular and staggeringly more used than any other ai-based product out there
Is it ? How would you even know ? It's a forced feature you can not opt out of or not use. I ignore AI overviews, but would still count as a 'user' to you.

- websiteapi 10mo agodoesn't seem accurate since gemini has many entry points
- famouswaffles 10mo agoEntry points ? The visits are accurate for the website and app. If you're talking about AI overviews, then that's meaningless for reasons I've already explained.
- RandallBrown 10mo agoI do understand why it makes it very hard to compare but it's certainly not meaningless. Google's AI overviews are pretty much the only way that I use AI.
- famouswaffles 10mo agoI mean we're all talking about how Google is 'catching up' and 'taking over' Open AI right ? In that case, it genuinely is meaningless. AI Overviews, even if it had the usage OP assumes, is not a threat to Open AI or chatGPT. People use chatGPT for a lot of different things, and AI overviews only handles (rather poorly in my opinion) a small, limited part of the kind of things it gets used for. I use AI mode a lot. It's better than Overviews in every conceivable way, and it's still not a chatGPT replacement. https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/a253471f-8260-40c6-a2cc-aa93fe9f142e/economic-research-chatgpt-usage-paper.pdf https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/a253471f-8260-40c6-a2cc-aa93fe9f1...
- RandallBrown 10mo agoI guess I use Google's AI that's built into their search engine the same way I've used ChatGPT or Claude. I ask it a question and it provides me an answer. I can then interact with it further if I want or look through the rest of the search results.
- tim333 10mo agoI use Google's AI much more often that OpenAI's but the URL I use is usually google.co.uk and so wouldn't appear if your numbers.
- matusp 10mo agoChatGPT - 5.8b visits - -5.2% MoM Gemini - 1.4b visits - +14.4% MoM Yeah, ChatGPT is still more popular, but this does not show Gemini struggling exactly.
