Apparently ChatGPT went from zero to a million users in five days[1], at a cost of "single-digits cents per chat."
For perspective the likes of Instagram and Twitter have take from a few months to a few dozen months to get to a million users all while doing less work to service a request for a "page."
Hats of to OpenAI for not falling over more often under a hug of death that doesn't seem to be letting up.
