11 ChatGPT Stats & Facts
1) It is based on GPT-4 technology. ChatGPT uses GPT-4, the latest milestone in OpenAI’s effort to scale up deep learning. GPT-4 is a large multimodal model that accepts image and text inputs and emits text outputs.
2) It is built out of an immense amount of data. GPT-4 contains 570 gigabytes of text data, which is equivalent to roughly 164,129 times the number of words in the entire Lord of the Rings series (including The Hobbit). It has billions of parameters and was trained on a dataset of 300 billion words.
3) It passes exams as a top student. GPT-4 is able to pass a simulated bar exam with a score around the top 10% of test takers; in contrast, GPT-3.5’s score was around the bottom 10%. It also exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks.
4) It speaks 100+ languages. ChatGPT can communicate fluently in over 100 languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, and more. It can also switch between languages within a conversation or translate messages from one language to another. ChatGPT is a true polyglot!
5) It has 200+ billion parameters. OpenAI ChatGPT has over 200 billion parameters, making it one of the largest language models in the world. And, new parameters are added every day. ChatGPT was trained on a massive corpus of text from the internet, including web pages, books, news articles, social media posts, and more.

7) Running ChatGPT technology is crazy expensive. The tool would cost approximately $100,000 per day or $3 million per month to run on Microsoft’s Azure Cloud, with each word generated costing $0.0003. Since OpenAI owns its own cloud servers the costs are not as much, but still massive, also because AI consumes a lot of computing power.

Bottom Line
The advancements in AI technology have led to an exciting era in the world of search engines. The emergence of ChatGPT and its integration with Bing search has sparked competition in the search engine market, leading to the introduction of Google’s Bard.
The market is now witnessing a race between these two giants to deploy the most advanced AI-powered search engine experience, while providing users with more natural and intuitive search results.
It will be fascinating to see how the integration of AI in search engines evolves in the coming years and how it transforms the search experience for millions of users worldwide.
However, while AI always comes in handy, some say it will never suppress human knowledge, as it lacks that personal touch and insight.
But we are also thinking, “If everything can be done by an AI, from basic to advanced level of work, then what will be the role of humans here?”
Or, as some people are afraid of, will AI become self-conscious and able to control and generate itself without human intervention in a few more years?
What will happen if that occurs? Is there going to be a real “person of interest” series?
