ChatGPT Now Worth Nearly $30 Billion
OpenAI, ChatGPT’s parent company, is surprised by its huge success. But it does them no harm, with a value of more than 30 billion.
ChatGPT’s success surprised everyone
Schools in panic because of massive fraudulent students, copywriters and programmers who are worried. Google, which fears for the future of its respected search engine and is now working frantically to make its own AI suitable for linking to the search engine.
To call ChatGPT disruptive is probably an understatement. In the months of December 2022 and January 2023, more than 100 million people have registered as users of the artificial intelligence and chatbot. The fastest growth of a new website in human history. Since then, users have used the chatbot for many different things.
Explosive growth means biggest market valuation ever
And with users, comes a market valuation. Because ChatGPT’s growth shows no signs of slowing down. According to observers, OpenAI, the company behind the chatbot, is already worth almost $30 billion and that could well be much more. That is a doubling of the value in one year.
And $30 billion is, of course, a lot of money. To give an impression: that is almost as much as the amount, $ 40 billion, for which Elon Musk bought Twitter. It took Twitter nearly 20 years to reach this value.
OpenAI processed in Microsoft Office and search engine Bing
The software giant Microsoft, the makers of Windows and Office, also clearly believes strongly in OpenAI. Because otherwise you will not invest the staggering amount of $ 10 billion in OpenAI and therefore ChatGPT. Microsoft wants to include OpenAI in the Office software, as a much smarter successor to the illustrious Clippy, and also in the ailing search engine Microsoft Bing.
Clearly, Microsoft now finally sees the opportunity to dethrone arch-rival Google. Because if you can give a query to ChatGPT, you can just do it in natural language without having to wade through dozens of results. So much more convenient than Google.
No wonder, then, that they are very concerned at Google and that they are now working hard on a counter move at this search giant.
The big losers are probably the website owners. After all, if the AI answers your question: why would you still visit the website that contains the answer?
