Its not, though. ChatGPT, the website is basically an (increasingly non-exclusive, given BingAI) frontend. What is claimed to be revolutionary is the underlying models (in the narrow view) and similar generative AI systems (in the broader view). As more applications are built with either OpenAIs own underlying models or those from the broader space, the ChatGPT website should be expected to represent a smaller share of the relevant universe of use.

This is the correct viewpoint. ChatGPT is one specific implementation of the technology, which was most people's first exposure to it. The broader applications of the technology itself are still in the very early stages, but are already making significant impacts.
