If you really need to ask an AI chatbot who would win in a battle between 100 men and a gorilla, or use it to dream up an image of President Trump as the next pontiff, you have ''many'' options today.

You can use Meta’sMETA $591.65 (-0.90%) new, stand-alone MetaAI app, or you could ask Google’sGOOGL $152.65 (-0.99%) Gemini, and there’s always Anthropic’s Claude. AI chatbots are kind of everywhere these days.

But the place that seems to be the most popular for such queries is OpenAI’s ChatGPT.com. According to data from Similarweb, the web-based chatbot received '''780 million''' visits last month from American users — a 14% jump from March.

It’s been a year since OpenAI rolled out the simplified website interface for its consumer-facing chatbot.

OpenAI seems to be aiming for a significant slice of the web search pie that Google currently dominates.

While 780 million monthly visits sounds like a lot, it’s still far behind the '''16 billion''' visits to Google.com, according to Similarweb’s data. Google is racking up 96 billion web searches per week, versus ChatGPT’s 1 billion.
