ChatGPT experienced for the first time in its very short history a decline in its users during the last month.
OpenAI’s chatbot was the huge event of 2023, with its generative AI technology capable of producing extremely complex texts from a few lines of request. But if he occupied all the discussions for many months, he seems for the first time to begin to run out of steam.
June break
We had never seen a phenomenon similar to ChatGPT in the entire history of the Internet. Even Instagram or TikTok hadn’t had such a meteoric start as the artificial intelligence of OpenAI, which registered some 100 million users just 2 months after its birth. Suffice to say that since then, everyone has been scrutinizing these figures to see how quickly AI is conquering the world.
However, all good things come to an end. The infernal rate of the number of new users of the chatbot has finally faded. According Similarweb, the number of visits to the ChatGPT site (desktop and mobile versions included) fell by 9.7% from May to June. At the same time, the number of unique visitors fell by 5.7%.
End of the novelty effect?
In a sign that interest is falling everywhere, even among those who continue to use AI, the time visitors spend on the ChatGPT platform has also deteriorated, with an 8.5% decrease . This first setback is in itself nothing to worry about, especially when you see the number of people conquered by ChatGPT across the planet.
But it is still true that we seem to go from a first stage of wonder to a second time more critical for the AI. Complaints about the misuse of third-party data are increasing as fears about the dangerousness of this technology are expressed by tech legends, and even by direct actors in the sector such as Sam Altman, the boss of OpenAI. So, is this the end of the honeymoon?
