OpenAI says ChatGPT search volume now equals 20% of Google's

Adam Fry, OpenAI's consumer product lead for ChatGPT, announced that ChatGPT now processes search queries at a volume equal to 20% of Google's. OpenAI defines a search as any query triggering a web search, excluding simple definitions or how-to answers; the source of the Google figure wasn't specified.
- For comparison, Satya Nadella said during Google's 2023 antitrust trial that Bing held only 3% market share after a decade-plus of effort.
- Google itself argued at trial that AI was a potential disruptor — OpenAI's numbers now bear that out.
- ChatGPT search likely relies heavily on Bing plus its own index, with speculation some queries route through Google.
