    Other countries leading in ChatGPT demand include Lebanon (24), Canada (23), Palestine (22), Morocco (21), and Kenya (21). Markedly, from the research findings, the United States has failed to feature among countries recording increased demand for ChatGPT.

    Despite the initial success of ChatGPT, the technology still needs to overcome several headwinds on its path to growth and adoption. For example, ChatGPT needs more information on current events as its knowledge is limited up to 2021. Consequently, search engines have the upper hand over the ability to offer real-time information.

    Although ChatGPT is winning the AI chatbot market size, the tool will likely come up against formidable competition in the future. In this case, possible competition may emerge from entities such as Google, the leading search engine. Notably, Google harbors an extensive AI team that can develop an alternative.

    In the meantime, critics of the tool have raised the ethical question over its ability to handle specific tasks. Such concerns have emanated from academicians regarding the possibility of students using the tool to write assignments. However, it is vital to note that such concerns have been associated with previous language models.
