"The biggest change isn't that other tools have vanished. It's that ChatGPT has become the new front door to information. Within months of its introduction on Nov. 30, 2022, ChatGPT had 100 million weekly users. By late 2025, that figure had grown to 800 million. That makes it one of the most widely used consumer technologies on the planet. Surveys show that this use isn't just curiosity - it reflects a real change in behavior."
"A 2025 Pew Research Center study found that 34% of U.S. adults have used ChatGPT, roughly double the share found in 2023. Among adults under 30, a clear majority (58%) have tried it. An AP-NORC poll reports that about 60% of U.S. adults who use AI say they use it to search for information, making this the most common AI use case. The number rises to 74% for the under-30 crowd."
ChatGPT rapidly became a primary entry point for everyday information, changing how people seek answers to basic factual and how-to questions. Within months of its November 2022 launch, weekly users reached 100 million and by late 2025 grew to 800 million worldwide. Surveys show adoption increased across demographics: 34% of U.S. adults had tried ChatGPT in 2025, with 58% of adults under 30. Around 60% of U.S. adults who use AI report using it for information search, rising to 74% among younger users. Traditional search engines remain essential, but many quick clarifying queries now go first to conversational AI.
