ChatGPT is losing some of its hype, as traffic falls for the third month in a row::August marked the third month in a row that the number of monthly visits to ChatGPT's website worldwide was down, per data from Similarweb.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


ChatGPT took the world by storm when it was released last November, but it looks like it's losing momentum.

"One theory about why ChatGPT's web traffic dropped over the summer is that school was out, which would help explain why the traffic trend stabilized in August as schoolchildren in the US were back in class in greater numbers toward the end of the month," David F. Carr, a senior insights manager at Similarweb, wrote in the report.

Before Meta's Threads assumed the title in July, ChatGPT was the fastest-growing app ever when it reached 100 million users in two months.

Some of that hype was prompted by students, leading to professors finding ways to combat ChatGPT plagiarism, and one Princeton student launching GPTZero to detect if an essay was written by AI.

But it's also being used in the workplace, with employees using ChatGPT to write code, do research, and improve time management.

In July, users of OpenAI's latest model, GPT-4, started complaining that the chatbot's performance had declined.

Yeah but they keep removing stuff and locking down how useful it can be. First they took GPT4 and put it behind a paywall, now I have a limit to how much I can use it per day and have to switch between multiple accounts sometimes. Makes it a lot harder to work it into new projects knowing I might have to wait on GPT to get its shit together every other day

Aw yeah dude chatgpt sucks for sure all of you should stop using it immediately so all the rich people who wanna fuck with it and discover ways to make money can and you can continue to be a little bitch to the system.

Definitely don’t use the api and learn some Python so you can control all the settings including system level prompting and so on. Definitely not a fucking blast to play with and I’ve definitely been so annoyed and have hated it for months and months. 👌🏻
