OpenAI says ChatGPT searches hit 20% of Google’s volume.

OpenAI doesn’t count every prompt to ChatGPT as a search. Its definition is a user query that results in a web search, which leaves out requests to define a term or explain a simple how-to. At a press event, consumer product lead Adam Fry said that kind of query volume has reached one-fifth of Google’s. It’s a comparison of search volume, not a count of users. Fry didn’t say where Google’s search-volume figure came from, leaving one side of the comparison without a specified source.
