ChatGPT's Traffic Decline Continues for Third Straight Month

OpenAI's ChatGPT, the AI chatbot, experienced a third consecutive monthly decline in website visits in August, with a 3.2% decrease to 1.43 billion visits. The average time spent on the site also decreased from 8.7 minutes to 7 minutes. However, there was a slight increase in worldwide unique visitors to 180.5 million users. The return of students to school in September may boost ChatGPT's traffic, as some schools have started using it for homework help. ChatGPT, which reached 100 million monthly active users in January, faces competition from other chatbots like Google's Bard and Microsoft's Bing. OpenAI also released the ChatGPT app on iOS, potentially impacting website traffic.
