Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, has already warned that AI technology such as ChatGPT could be replacing people in white collar jobs.
According to ChatGPT itself, the AI tool has reached over a million users in just 5 days after it’s launch in November of 2022. The conversational AI bot that can produce human-like text has been put to all kind of uses, from writing short stories, prose, music and term papers to programming basic code, solving math problems and doing translations.
The first chart shows that other popular online services have generally taken much longer to hit the one million user mark. Instagram is among those which come the closest. The popular social media service achieved one million users in just 2.5 months.
The second chart shows that many people seem to share reservations with regard to artificial intelligence. According to the survey conducted among 24,471 adults in 34 countries, an average of 27 percent of respondents per country consider it likely that a rogue AI program will cause problems around the world this year, with some countries such as India, Indonesia and China seeing significantly higher degrees.
