GOOGLE SEARCH VOLUME IS ABOUT 5X CHATGPT , OPENAI SAYS

What happened: OpenAI's ChatGPT consumer product lead Adam Fry said ChatGPT receives roughly one-fifth as many search-like queries as Google, counting a search each time a question sends ChatGPT to the web. Key numbers: About 1/5 ratio versus Google. ChatGPT weekly active users rose 20% from 1 billion to 1.2 billion over two months. Why it matters: Fry did not say which Google figure, time period, or regions the comparison covers, so the ratio is hard to compare with other estimates. Neither figure shows whether ChatGPT searches are replacing Google searches. Coverage: 3 outlets in 24h
