The chatbot's performance has also been criticized, with users reporting a decline in accuracy over time. A study by Stanford and Berkeley academics found that the latest model, GPT-4, was less accurate in several tasks. Despite these issues, ChatGPT continues to be used in workplaces for tasks such as coding, research, and time management. OpenAI has not yet responded to these concerns.
Key takeaways:
- ChatGPT's website visits have been declining for three consecutive months, with a decrease in the average time spent on the site since March, according to Similarweb.
- Despite the overall decline, there was a slight increase in the number of unique visitors in August, and a 0.4% increase in US visits to the ChatGPT website.
- One theory for the drop in web traffic over the summer is that school was out, which could explain the stabilization of traffic in August as students returned to school.
- Users of OpenAI's latest model, GPT-4, have complained about a decline in the chatbot's performance, with a significant drop in accuracy in tasks such as identifying prime numbers.
