Various statistics showing the time required by prominent social media platforms to reach 1 million visits as against ChatGPT has been shown. ChatGPT has become very popular among the students of various education levels and here an attempt is made to study the pattern of use of ChatGPT among students. The level of satisfaction was also measured on a 0-9 continuum and its descriptive statistics are shown. Like everything else in the world, even ChatGPT comes with a lot of limitations.
