> OpenAI's ChatGPT hit 100 million MAUs in January, and has gone down since.

poor reading of the numbers. one guy at a bank pulled up similarweb and guesstimated 100m registered users and it went viral. whisper numbers were closer to 50m. but in the 6 months since they have certainly crossed 100m and probably are north of 500m, and only recently dipped.

You are countering whisper numbers with more whisper numbers.

He's making a pun referring to OpenAI's open-sourced Whisper voice recognition model:

Whisper numbers are numbers that are secretly shared among industry insiders, not the usage numbers of OpenAI's Whisper.
