OpenAI's claim that ChatGPT search queries equal about 20% of Google's volume is a self-reported figure from an executive, with no published methodology, so the comparison's basis is unclear. Readers should weigh it against independent traffic data. The user-growth numbers, including 1.2 billion weekly actives and 250 million on voice, show how quickly conversational AI is becoming a default interface for information retrieval.

Users created 1.5 billion images per week using ChatGPT, and ChatGPT's voice mode reached 250 million weekly active users. (Caixin)
