OpenAI: ChatGPT search volume already equals 20% of Google’s volume (by OpenAI’s own definition)

Adam Fry, ChatGPT’s head of consumer product, said at a press event on Monday that ChatGPT’s search query volume equals 20% of Google’s. OpenAI defines “search” as any question that triggers a web search (not a simple definition or how-to). Fry did not cite the source of the Google figure. The Verge (11/03, 18:30 UTC / 15:30 BRT) compares that with Bing (~3% market share in the 2023 antitrust case). Fry also talked about “Intelligent UI” (interactive canvas in the answer) and said ads “did not negatively impact” the product; the company is pushing sponsored product images in ChatGPT.
