Data shows ChatGPT use decreased by nearly 10 percent from May to June.

    I really doubt the number of people using uncensored chat bot is that high. The drop of usage probably has more to do with novelty and AI general limitation.

    The AI models are not always that easy to use and they are being developed at neck breaking speed, so I cannot imagine the numbers of people dedicate themselves to use such AI would be that high.

    There is a niche of using AI chatbot as RP tool for sure, but it has always been a separated thing from the start and it cannot cause such sudden drop.

    Oh my God! That’s awful! Which ones?! Which sites, specifically, though?! You know, so I can call for bans.

    This might be a US centric view, but the drop could be associated with the fact that school ended in May and not as many people used it in June.

    It also could be the novelty wearing off

      Does school in the US usually end in May? In Canada, grade school goes till June. But by the time you get to June, it’s largely final exam season and I don’t see how an AI would help with that. Surely AI cheating is more for regular assignments, not exams.

    It makes me laugh anyone cares about a censor. I guess 10 per cent of the userbase wanted to nsfw chat with waifus? Judging by the stable diffusion community on surprised it’s not 90% 🤣

    I would be interested using it for my work, so offline commercially licenced models are more my interest due to privacy. Unfortunately my 1080ti doesn’t seem very capable of running anything useful. (Also the offline models aren’t as fast or advanced)

    I’ll stick to redacting the information I give gpt!

      Two issues I ran into were I like midjourney for grimdark artwork, but it shies away from certain things like blood, and getting chatgpt to generate poetry/lyrics with dark motifs.

      But more generally, I honestly just hate being mollycoddled by a god damn robot. I’m a big boy, I know what I asked for, and I can handle the results.

      Tech/Programming communities have also noticed that recent changes to the censorship model has messed with the validity and quality of the responses ChatGPT is providing.

      I’ve ran into the same issue recently, where some questions I’ve asked (like converting a JSON to a Typescript type) are now telling me how to do something instead of just doing it. So I’ve been relying on ChatGPT a little less - and I imagine I’m not the only one.

        Actually, I’ve had a slightly opposite experience. I found that while asking it general programming questions, it initially tried to exain to me how I could achieve what I was looking to do, and lately it has been jumping straight to writing example code (sometimes even asking for my existing code so that it can modify it)

        I’ve definitely found the playground to be more useful than chat, but it of course can cost more if you’re burning through a lot of tokens (I’ve been at least doubling my plus subscription every month!)
