OpenAI’s ChatGPT, monthly website visits have decreased for the third consecutive month in August, according to analytics company Similarweb.
The number of visitors to the ChatGPT website from desktop and mobile devices worldwide fell by 3.2% to 1.43 billion in August, following 10% declines in each of the two preceding months.
Since March, the average amount of time users spend on the website has been dropping each month, from 8.7 minutes in March to 7 minutes in August.
However, from 180 million users in August, there were 180.5 million unique visitors from throughout the world.
The start of the new school year in September may boost ChatGPT usage and traffic, and some schools have already started using it.
In August, U.S. ChatGPT traffic increased marginally as a result of American schools starting back up.
Two months after its inception, ChatGPT sparked a frenzy in the use of generative AI for routine tasks ranging from editing to coding and reached 100 million monthly active users in January. Generative AI uses historical data to produce new material, such as essays.
ChatGPT was the fastest-growing consumer application ever before Meta’s Threads launch and is currently among the top 30 websites on the planet.
