ChatGPT is struggling to keep up its once-explosive growth as users uninstall the app or opt for rival chatbots instead. According to data from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower, ChatGPT experienced a 132 percent increase in uninstalls year over year in April. Its uninstall rate was even higher last month, up 413 percent year-over-year, following OpenAI's deal with the Pentagon in February. While ChatGPT is still growing its user base, Sensor Tower says that growth is slowing down - ChatGPT increased its monthly active users by 168 percent in January, but only 78 percent in April.

I'm much more sympathetic towards Anthropic than most users here. Started using CC when it was barely useable and think they are the good guys dealing with a real supply crunch. But every session I get prompted a dozen times to /schedule random tasks for two weeks in advance. Even small features "Want me to /schedule a check in for 2 weeks when this is live"? I realize they are tryign to scale to $100b in a year... they should focus on the product not shilling

Oracular spectacular? | Image: Cath Virginia / The Verge If you want to know whether the AI bubble is bursting, there's only one publicly traded company that will tell you: Oracle. That's right, the database company. Oracle has burned its boats and pivoted to AI, but not in any kind of usual way. It is not a foundation model builder like OpenAI or Anthropic, obviously. It's not quite a neocloud, though it has entered the same bare-metal business as CoreWeave. It is a software-as-a-service company that has made an audacious bet on a very specific future version of AI as Oracle's traditional bu...

Scammers are using AI-generated videos of celebrities including Taylor Swift and Rihanna to promote shady services on TikTok, according to authentication company Copyleaks. The ads typically show celebrities in interview settings, such as red carpets, podcasts, or talk shows, and often manipulate real footage with AI, the company said. Many promote rewards programs claiming users can earn money by watching TikTok content and giving feedback. TikTok's official branding appears in some of the ads, though users are redirected to third-party services that ask for personal information. In one ad, ...
