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.
It took a while but yeah that seems about right. It takes a lot of guiding to have it produce something usable. I have to know a lot about what I want it to do. It can teach me things but the hallucinations are strong sometimes so you have to be careful.
Still it helps me out and I make a lot of progress because of it.
I like it for certain techy things. I just used it to create a linux one-liner command for counting the unique occurances of a regex pattern. I often forget specific flags for Linux commands like how
uniqcan perform counting.And something like that is easy to test each piece of what it said and go from there.
As long as you treat it like a peer who prefaced the statement with “I might be wrong / if I recall correctly” it ends up being a pretty good aid.

There’s also the novelty factor. Like how DALL-E was the rage not that long ago, people flocked to it because it was new and interesting.
But the novelty has rather worn out by now.
This is a big part for me. When ChatGPT first came on the scene, I was absolutely blown away by its natural language parsing capabilities, but it wasn’t long before I started to hit the boundaries of its abilities. I was disappointed by how unreliable it was with anything but the most simple queries. Now it just doesn’t do enough to really bother with.
ChatGPT has gotten dumb. I used to have to code check it’s answer every few responses. Now it’s every response. It wrote me an if/else statement the other day where if and else had the same outcome.
School’s just starting. It won’t hit the peak of hype without some huge new features or improvements, but it’ll rise again.
Yeah I’d love to continue using ChatGPT but I got warned for making it roleplay as Widowmaker and trying to fuck the bot.
They don’t want my money? Fine. I’ll give it to someone else who doesn’t have arbitrary morality rules on playing wall-ball with linear algebra.
I made the mistake of asking chatgpt questions about securing my network setup. It confidently gave me a huge amount of misinformation that led to 8-10 hours of frustration and pointless troubleshooting.
Do NOT trust ChatGPT.
ChatGPT: *declines in popularity *develops sentience *gets emotional *evolves into SkyNet
They definitely nerfed it. We will probably end up in a situation where corporations and the rich have access to god-tier AI, and everyone else has access to mediocre, ad-supported AI.
Just wait until we find out what the US military has.
This is just balancing out. Anything that gets over-hyped will eventually drop in use. It’ll eventually be a boring yet useful tool just like spreadsheets, spellcheck, or email.
No one seems to have thought about the fact that most schools have been out for those three months. Not sure exactly how much of the traffic is high schoolers and college students cheating, but that could account for at least some of the loss in traffic.
Edit: missed a word
Cheating isn’t necessarily the only use case for GPT, although it definitely does play an impact on the overall number of users.
I would like to see if the use of their API increased.
Why does the guy in the thumbnail look like Steven Crowder if you bought him on Wish?
I switched from their $20 interface to straight API, it makes more sense for me. I wonder if other people are doing this and these metrics aren’t accounting for that.
Do you know of any interfaces like (or better than) ChatGPT that you can selfhost, that uses the openai api?
I absolutely love typingmind.com, I’ve invested a lot of personalization into it’s prompt library, and characters.
That you!
Edit: wow…
Thank you
Yeah, that’s what I did. With my very light usage the fixed-price subscription isn’t justifiable, but the api works nicely.
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. 👌🏻
