And you, have you taken the AI turn? On a global scale, in any case, the success continues unabated for Silicon Valley companies and their generative artificial intelligence software, according to figures recently published by industry leaders. Appearing nearly two years ago with OpenAI’s ChatGPT conversational robot, this technology continues, it seems, to seduce Internet users and companies.
OpenAI, the start-up launched in 2015 in which Microsoft has invested heavily, has announced that its star chatbot has passed the 200 million weekly user mark, twice as many as last November. The paid version of ChatGPT, meanwhile, has reached 1 million subscribers, compared to 600,000 last April. GPT-4o allows users to obtain a summary or comments on an attached document, as well as more efficient responses from a more recent database. The largest number of subscribers is, unsurprisingly, in the United States, followed by Germany, the United Kingdom and Japan.
