OpenAI, a leading name in the artificial intelligence world, shared striking data on ChatGPT’s usage habits as it celebrated its third anniversary. ChatGPT, which quietly launched as a research preview in 2022, is now the most popular chatbot on the planet. According to official statistics, the platform has reached an incredible transaction volume, responding to approximately 29,000 messages per second.
ChatGPT is 3 years old: Here’s the most common action taken by 800 million users
OpenAI data shows that 800 million people use ChatGPT weekly for a variety of purposes, from planning trips to selecting the freshest grocery items. However, its use in the business world reveals a striking detail. Rather than having to write new text from scratch, the vast majority of users are using AI to edit, critique, and translate existing text.

A list of the platform’s most popular global use cases reveals a surprising result. People prefer to upload their own images to the AI system rather than create them from scratch. This demonstrates that users need to analyze and improve their own data or images, rather than content generated by AI.
Other prominent topics in global usage habits include internet searching, using reasoning models, data analysis, and dictation features. An examination of the UK data, in particular, reveals that people don’t view ChatGPT solely as a technological innovation; rather, they position it as a guide for practical matters like recipes, repairs, or personal development.
At this point, ChatGPT has become an indispensable part of daily life, bridging the gap between searching on Google and consulting with an expert. While shopping and product research are currently lower on the list, this balance is expected to shift soon with OpenAI’s newly developed shopping tools.
So, which ChatGPT feature do you use most in your daily life or workflow, and do these shared statistics align with your usage habits?
