OpenAI's conversational AI product with free and Pro subscription tiers.
A Graphite study using Similarweb data finds ChatGPT now accounts for over 81% of global traffic across major AI chatbot tools, with no rival reaching 10% share and monthly visits hitting a record 61.35 billion in September. Global AI service visits reached 76 billion, up 37% year over year, with more than 90% of usage coming from outside the US.
This is a multi-story tech morning brief whose only strongly AI-related item is a wave of unexplained ChatGPT account bans, including $200/month Pro subscribers who lost access to chat history and work materials. OpenAI has offered no unified explanation or disclosure of the number of affected accounts, so the story remains at the level of user reports.
