ChatGPT nears one billion users as Ghibli-style AI images double weekly actives

ChatGPT's weekly active users have reportedly reached or are nearing one billion, doubling in just a few weeks. This surge is attributed to recent updates, particularly the improved image generation feature and popular Studio Ghibli-style creations. The AI tool became the world's most downloaded app in March, with 46 million new downloads. While consumers embrace generative AI, questions arise about its impact on jobs, with some companies cutting staff due to AI capabilities.
