Both OpenAI, the research organization that developed ChatGPT, and ChatGPT itself are the object of much buzz on social media: OpenAI registered more than one million actions on social media in January 2023 – double the number it generated in the entire fourth quarter of 2022. For ChatGPT, the numbers are even higher, with 9.2 million actions in January 2023, a 330% increase compared to Q4 2022. These trends are reflected in the chart a keyword cloud below.

What about OpenAI.com’s audience profile?
