    Thats less than 50 million GPT plus subscriptions, even fewer if you factor in the more expensive subscriptions. Thats alot of subscriptions, but not an implausible number.

      Good point.

      That would put OpenAI around #5 on this list (by estimated subscriber count): https://largest.org/technology/largest-saas-businesses-by-number-of-subscribers/

      Less than Microsoft, Google, SalesForce and Zoom - but higher than Slack, DropBox, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

      It’s surprising and rare for a relatively new company to jump that high in user base this quick.

      It’s surprising, but it’s plausible. OpenAI and derived products do anecdotally seem about that popular, this year.

        OpenAI reminds me in some ways of Netscape, except that it hasn’t gone public yet, compared to the latter, which did so only 16 months after its founding.

      They also have an API, I think a chunk of that revenue comes from there. Think 3rd party apps and services having chat bots, writing assistants, etc that use openai’s API.
