ChatGPT is going to surpass X
Similarweb's March 2025 numbers put ChatGPT one slot under X:
| Rank | Site | Monthly visits (B) | MoM change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | X | 4.58 | +8.76% |
| 6 | ChatGPT | 4.55 | +16.47% |

ChatGPT's month-over-month growth was the highest in the top ten that month. X was still ahead on absolute visits, barely. If those growth rates held, the pass was a math problem, not a branding story.
What I care about is not the rank badge. Everything else in the top ten is search, social, or Wikipedia. ChatGPT is a chat product sitting in that company. People are treating it like a default place to go, the way they treat Google — not like a demo they open twice.
I still use other tools for coding. Traffic like this is why "AI as a website" is a real distribution channel, not a side project UI.
