SimilarWeb reckons ChatGPT usage is dropping (according to this Reuters article). See also this report from back in July 2023 reporting on a 10% drop in web traffic to the ChatGPT site. Note: this is only looking at web traffic trends, ie it excludes apps and API traffic (which one would assume is growing). Difficult to say what this means for ChatGPT (versus AI interest in general), but given...

Trying to get to the bottom of what clients perceive as valuable is challenging, but I’ve started to realise an important part is whether they can see it. Whether they can point at it. Whether they can easily show it to others. A few examples to highlight the differences: Improving the efficiency of a sales...
I’m guessing 1 in 5 of the posts I see on LI these days is ChatGPT generated. They have that slightly fake feel about them, that we’re all starting to become attuned to.

Apple is discontinuing customer support via Twitter (X), YouTube and it’s own Apple Support Community forums, according to a MacRumours post. Timeframe for this to be completed is before end of year (likely by November).
