Analysis of the Development Status of China's ChatGPT Industry in 2023

ChatGPT's application scenarios extend to developing chatbots, writing and debugging computer programs, and creating content in literature and media-related fields, such as music, TV scripts, fairy tales, poetry, and lyrics. In some test scenarios, ChatGPT has demonstrated performance superior to average human testers in education, exams, and answering test questions. For example, ChatGPT can compose text in the style of Lu Xun, draft weekly reports for Elon Musk in the tone of a Twitter senior data engineer, help users overcome the dilemma of not knowing how to confess their feelings to someone, or directly debug code.
Despite ChatGPT and other AIGC models becoming increasingly powerful, they will still be unable to perform most human tasks in the coming years. For instance, they cannot farm, manage forests, raise cattle, fish, mine, manufacture cars or smartphones, or apprehend criminals. In summary, they cannot perform tasks that require direct physical interaction with the world. These industries can be considered weakly related. However, if AIGC is combined with automated hardware, it could assist or even replace many human jobs in the future. As a new type of AI technology, ChatGPT's intelligent capabilities provide more efficient and intelligent services across industries, driving continuous development and intelligent upgrades while promoting industrial growth. It is believed that ChatGPT's applications will become even more widespread in the future.
ChatGPT, short for 'Generative Pre-trained Transformer,' is a large language model developed by OpenAI based on the GPT architecture. It generates natural and fluent text for applications like text generation and chatbots. Utilizing the Transformer architecture, it learns grammar, semantics, and contextual features of natural language through extensive unsupervised training, enabling powerful text-generation capabilities.
Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is a chatbot program that engages in dialogue by learning and understanding human language. Industry experts note that, fundamentally, ChatGPT represents a step forward in AIGC technology, which primarily involves natural language processing (NLP) and AIGC generation algorithms. 'From the results, its generated content aligns closely with human logic, significantly improving application maturity.'
Since ChatGPT's explosive popularity in early 2023, the trend has rapidly spread to finance and capital industries. Analysts note that finance, being data-intensive and communication-heavy, already had early AIGC applications, making it one of the most-watched sectors in this ChatGPT wave. Within just over half a year, financial institutions and tech companies worldwide have invested heavily in this field, competing in algorithm models, data services, and application scenarios.
ChatGPT went viral upon release, reaching 1 million users in just five days and 100 million in two months. Its traffic surged from 18.3 million to 672 million visits, making it the fastest-growing consumer application in history. The latest version, GPT-4, improves upon GPT-3.5 with enhanced language model capabilities and multimodal functionality, accepting image inputs and understanding visual content. It also supports text inputs up to 32,000 tokens, outperforming GPT-3.5 in multilingual contexts and adversarial evaluations while achieving human-level performance on professional and academic benchmarks, offering transformative user experiences.

With active investments from tech giants, AIGC is accelerating industrial adoption. Driven by AI innovations (generative algorithms, pre-trained models, multimodal tech), ecosystem development (a three-tier framework taking shape), and policy support (Beijing's economic authority endorsed leading firms to develop ChatGPT-like models), AIGC is poised for rapid growth. According to Tencent Research Institute, the AIGC market is projected to reach $110 billion by 2030, showcasing vast potential.
ChatGPT has fueled a rally in tech stocks. AI manufacturer C3.ai's shares have surged over 133% year-to-date, while small-cap AI-related stocks like BigBear.ai, serving healthcare, government, and manufacturing, have soared over 610%. Within a month of ChatGPT's launch, Google's CEO issued a 'code red,' restructuring the company's 2023 AI strategy. Google later announced Bard, a new conversational AI service, initially for trusted testers before a public rollout.
Tianyancha data shows over 400 'human-machine dialogue' patent applications in China, 80% of which are invention patents. Over 120 have been granted, with seven published or approved this year. As AI advances, ChatGPT, as a cutting-edge technology, is integrating into daily life, offering efficient, intelligent services across finance, healthcare, education, e-commerce, and more.
Experts believe that as an important component of the digital economy, the development prospects of artificial intelligence are undeniable. As the latest achievement in the AI field, ChatGPT also possesses ample imagination and room for growth. Currently, tech giants such as Microsoft and Google are firmly investing in AI, demonstrating the vast development potential of AI applications. The AI industry is expected to usher in a new wave of development. The newly launched search engine NewBing, which incorporates ChatGPT technology, has shown remarkable synergy between AI and search, with 71% of users expressing satisfaction during testing.
