ChatGPT is used most widely among those between 25 and 34 around the world. The youngest group, those under 24, are the second largest userbase, and together those under 34 account for over 60 percent of ChatGPT users. It is perhaps unsurprising that the younger age brackets use the chatbot more than older as that is the common trend with new technologies. Male users were far more numerous than female users, with males representing over 65 percent of total users in 2023.

In a survey conducted across four Southeast Asian countries in February 2023, almost half of the respondents selected collection of personal data as one of the concerns they had regarding the usage of chatbots like ChatGPT.

Visits from Brazil represented the fourth-largest group for the platform, generating more than five percent of the total traffic recorded in the examined period.

Unsurprisingly, those between 18 and 24 were the most likely to use ChatGPT among the various age groups. This is likely due to younger people adopting tech at a faster rate than older generations.

According to a survey of adults in the United States conducted in January 2023, 17 percent of respondents age between 30 to 44 years old claimed to have used ChatGPT to generate text themselves. In comparison, 48 percent of respondents aged between 18 and 29 years old and another 46 percent of respondents aged between 30 to 44 years old reported having seen text being generated by the AI technology for someone else. Meanwhile, 59 percent of those older than 65 years old respondents claimed to have never used nor seen anyone else use it.

In a survey conducted across four Southeast Asian countries in February 2023, 76 percent of the respondents in Singapore selected the collection of personal data as one of the concerns they had regarding the usage of chatbots like ChatGPT.

ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered chatbot, is most used by companies in the technical and education industries, with over 200 companies using it in 2023. It is perhaps unsurprising that the technical field has embraced the use of ChatGPT, but it is interesting that so many educational institutes have begun to use it. While other industries do utilize the OpenAI-made chatbot, there are less than a 100 institutions and companies that use ChatGPT in other industries. This is especially true of agriculture, cultural, and legal industries, where only a single company is using ChatGPT in 2023.

Interest in the chatbot, developed by the U.S.-based OpenAI and launched in November 2022, started rising in the week ending December 3, 2022. Recently, growing demand for information on ChatGPT made the keyword hit a peak of 100 index points during the week ending on June 2, 2024. ChatGPT, which stands for Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is a chatbot and AI-powered auto-generative text system able to give human-sounding replies and reproduce human-like interactions when prompted.

In January 2024, ChatGPT website chat.openai.com saw almost a fifth of its global traffic originating from its home country, the United States.

On May 19, 2023, the artificial intelligence and machine learning laboratory OpenAI launched its popular ChatGPT mobile app on iOS for the United States market. Announced on May 18, 2023, the app generated close to four million downloads during its first month on the Apple App Store in the United States and around 12 million downloads as OpenAI made the app available to other markets in June 2023.

Healthcare, however, had the lowest rate of AI usage with only 15 percent of those asked having used it at work. The rate of adoption in marketing and advertising is understandable, as it is the industry that most weaves together art and creative mediums in its processes.

Generative AI linked to education

Those positions that require a higher level of education are most at risk of being automated with generative AI in the U.S. This is simply because those jobs that require less formal education are rarely digital positions and are more reliant on physical labor. Jobs that require tertiary education, however, are still the least likely to be automated overall, even with the added influence of generative AI.

ChatGPT has competitors

While the OpenAI-developed ChatGPT is the most well-known AI program and the currently most advanced large language model, - other competitors are catching up. While just over half of respondents in the U.S. had heard of or used ChatGPT, nearly half of respondents had also heard of or used Bing Chat. Google’s Bard was slightly behind, with only around a third of Americans having heard of or used it.

Gemini Ultra, developed by Google, has beaten OpenAI's GPT-4 in the MMMU benchmark. Only in business and science did GPT-4 perform better. The overall quality of the models is very similar, with Gemini only having a three point lead on its OpenAI developed competitor.
