According to analysis by Swiss bank UBS, ChatGPT is the fastest-growing 'app' of all time. The analysis estimates that ChatGPT had 100 million active users in January, only two months after its launch. For comparison, it took nine months for TikTok to reach 100 million users.

ChatGPT's success has been so massive that other companies felt compelled to release their own versions of AI chatbots, such as Google Bard, Microsoft's Bing Chat, and there's even talk of a possible AppleGPT.

How can you access ChatGPT?
You can access ChatGPT simply by visiting chat.openai.com and creating an OpenAI account.

You can also still use the old URL for the chatbot, which is chat.openai.com/chat. OpenAI simplified the original URL for user convenience.
