I've been watching the interest in ChatGPT and its rivals via Google Trends for a while:

It's fascinating that ChatGPT seems to stand a chance to even surpass Reddit in interest.

I wonder what the recent spike for "Bing" means? Is that from their image creator? Or did the chat on Bing take off?

Very sure the response for the last question is "Chandler Bing" :/.

What makes you "very sure"?

Look at the chart for bing.com:

Do you attribute that to Chandler Bing too?

The very famous actor that played the character Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) died unexpectedly recently, I'd imagine that would spike things a bit.

Only answering your first sentence with some context, the rest I have no opinion or information on

Maybe ChatGPT googles "bing" too...

ChatGPT had outages recently, when it went down people who relied on it went to Bing chat which is based on GPT4 and is free

ChatGPT is insanely useful, especially now that it auto searches the internet using Bing.

I've never once found that useful. I must be doing it wrong.

I did find a lot of links it couldn't read, though.

bing chat was doing that from day one using gpt-4 free of charge... low key superpower for people who could get past the bing hate.

Yeah it did but it was annoying. It kept blocking my account on the iOS app for no reason (really, not even a hint of something against the tos), they modified it so you could ask only 3 more follow up questions etc.

I think it's from the image creator.

It's surprising that Reddit didn't drop more than that
