ChatGPT declined in June, with a 9.7% drop in mobile traffic and a 5.7% drop in unique visitors
Per Reuters
OpenAI's ChatGPT has made records for how fast it once got users, but in June, the artificial intelligence chatbot experienced its first decline in users. This was for both mobile and web traffic.
Similarweb data revealed that mobile traffic for ChatGPT dropped 9.7%, while unique visitors also saw a 5.7% plunge. This came as total website time on the ChatGPT website was reportedly down by 8.5%.
In January, the chatbot was able to achieve a whopping 100 million active monthly users. This was just two months after it launched.
During that time, there was reportedly an increase in how many people used the chatbot tool in the workplace.
Sarah Hindlian-Bowler, the Technology Research Americas at Macquarie head, gave a statement regarding the situation.
Hindlian-Bowler: "I think there are growing pains when you go from zero to 100 million users that quickly. The extraordinarily heavy infrastructure would result in less accuracy. It's a combination of having to change what the model is trained on and having to deal with the potential implications of regulation,"
Recently, ChatGPT allowed users to access up-to-date data info with its new feature, ChatGPT Plus, a premium service for users. The data would break the AI's previous limits of only being able to access data until 2021.
