[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• ChatGPT has dominated the AI market since it launched nearly three years ago, but competitors are beginning to catch up.
• Data reveals Gemini more than doubled its traffic share over the past year as ChatGPT’s market hold started to chip away.
• ChatGPT still represents over 70% of generative AI web traffic, although Gemini holds over 10% for the first time.

OpenAI kicked off the AI race in late 2022 with the emergence of ChatGPT, the first mainstream chatbot powered by large language models (LLMs). Nearly three years later, the artificial intelligence landscape is ripe with competition. Companies like Google, Meta, Microsoft, Perplexity, Anthropic, and xAI are vying for users and market share as they challenge ChatGPT. Data shared by Similarweb on X this week revealed Google is steadily building momentum and stealing web traffic from OpenAI.

As the chart below reveals, ChatGPT had a staggering 86.6% of generative AI traffic share one year ago. Traffic share is a metric used to compare website activity to industry peers. It’s a proportion that represents the percentage of visitors a grouping of competing sites each receive in a particular market. In this case, this chart looks at the relative traffic share the 10 largest generative AI sites controlled over time.
