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 January 2024, ChatGPT online domain chat.openai.com registered over 19.4 percent of its traffic as originating in the United States. Users based in Indonesia generated approximately 11.7 percent of the total visits to the chatbot platform, while users in Indonesia accounted for 6.3 percent of the total visits to the website. 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.

As of 2023, about 70 percent of the global population who are familiar with ChatGPT were using the tool at least once a month, while over 35 percent reported using it weekly. Indian respondents were the most frequent users, having just over 36 percent of their respondents claimed to use ChatGPT every day.

In January 2024, ChatGPT saw approximately 484.82 million visits from users worldwide to its web address, chat.openai.com. This represents a slight decrease from the previous year, when global traffic to the popular chatbot website reached over 650 million monthly visits in May 2023, coinciding with the release of the software's mobile app for the App Store.

A 2023 survey found that approximately 39 percent of respondents in Indonesia reported using ChatGPT on a weekly basis for various purposes, from work to entertainment. Meanwhile, around 30 percent of respondents stated that they rarely used ChatGPT.

In September 2024, ChatGPT’s mobile app registered over 32.06 million App Store and Google Play downloads worldwide. Released on February 8, 2024, and initially available in the U.S. market only, Google’s Gemini AI Assistant mobile app registered around 12.67 downloads in the same month.

As of June 2024, global Google searches for the word "ChatGPT" increased again after a slight decline by the end of 2024. 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.

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is the most widely known generative AI software in the U.S. in 2023. Over half of respondents had used or heard of the program. This is unsurprising, as its launch into the public sphere at the end of 2022 was heavily documented by a wide variety of media. Stable Diffusion, an image generator AI, was lesser known, with less than a quarter of respondents having heard about it or used it.

Cautious of the new tech

While generative AI has a tremendous amount of potential for improvement and efficiency in everyday life, it is a simple fact that many users are not ready to trust this technology yet. This is for a variety of reasons, with some believing it to be too insecure, while others believe that companies are simply not transparent enough about how they use the technology.

Lack of knowledge

For many, it boils down to a lack of user experience, as not everyone has the need or interest to get invested in this new technology trend. In fact, most companies are still looking to roll out generative AI expertise more widely across their organizations.
