First-ever decline in ChatGPT user numbers

 In June, ChatGPT's traffic, which includes both app and website traffic, declined by 9.7%.

A report by The Washington Post reveals that ChatGPT’s traffic decreased by 9.7 per cent in June, encompassing both app and website traffic. Additionally, data from Sensor Tower indicates a significant drop in ChatGPT app downloads on iOS compared to early June.

For the first time ever, traffic to OpenAI's ChatGPT, the generative AI model that swept the internet, has dropped a startling 10%. Similarweb data shows a dramatic fall in mobile and website traffic, which suggests that OpenAI is using less AI-powered products and services.

According to a report by The Washington Post, ChatGPT's traffic, which includes app and website traffic, declined by 9.7% in June. Additionally, according to Sensor Tower statistics, fewer iOS users have downloaded the ChatGPT app since early June.

The next big thing on the internet, ChatGPT, uses generative AI to produce replies that are human-like and can compose essays, develop computer code, and maybe even pass professional examinations. OpenAI even worked with Microsoft to popularise ChatGPT, resulting in a new version of the Edge browser that gives users free access to GPT-4, the most recent language model developed by OpenAI.

A bug in Google News stops fresh news from showing up in the stream.

You can't access Google News to view fresh content from your favourite websites and publishers. It's Google, not you.

One of the finest news aggregation applications is without a doubt Google News, however a recent glitch seems to be restricting stories from your favourite websites and newspapers.

All websites are now experiencing an ongoing difficulty that prevents them from being correctly indexed, according to Google's Search Status Dashboard, a portal that gives information on services that are part of Google Search. This appears to be preventing many people from viewing fresh content from their favourite websites and magazines and decreasing traffic for numerous businesses.

Many publications may experience a significant decline in traffic until the flaw is rectified because Google News is a major traffic referrer for websites on the internet. Google acknowledged the problem yesterday, although according to the Search Status Dashboard, it may have originated on June 21.

Watch this Space: Discover the most significant advancements in space during the previous week.

Unbeknownst to many of us, the Earth reached its furthest distance from the Sun this week. Our globe had its warmest day ever that same week. These two seemingly illogical occurrences are only the tip of the iceberg in terms of recent space-related advances. This and other topics are covered in "Watch this space," our weekly collection of space news.

From the Sun's and the aphelion's distance

Aphelion, which this year occurred on July 6, refers to the point in Earth's orbit when it is farthest from the Sun. This occurs as a result of the slightly elliptical orbit it travels on. But shouldn't it be growing colder instead of warmer if the Earth were as far away from the Sun as is possible?

Ten aspects of Twitter that Meta's Threads still lack

Threads still need to catch up with Twitter, and here are ten such features that are only available on Twitter.

With over 100 million sign-ups in only a few days, Mark Zuckerberg's newest microblogging site Threads has completely taken over the internet. Threads, which was created and developed by the Instagram team, offers a unique yet recognisable user experience that mimics Twitter.

Touted as the Twitter alternative, Threads has many features similar to Elon Musk’s latest acquisition. However, being a brand-new platform, it does miss out on several key aspects when compared to its rival Twitter, perhaps the most popular microblogging platform in the world.

Describe Threads. The Twitter clone created by Meta that Elon Musk may face serious problems

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, is once again doing what he does best: building social networks that inspire participation and dialogue. Within a few hours of its global launch, Threads, Meta's microblogging network designed to capitalise on Twitter's self-inflicted problems, had racked up more than 30 million sign-ups. This gives Threads some credence as a real Twitter substitute. It remains to be seen if this uptick will sustain over time and succeed in luring users and interaction away from Elon Musk's Twitter. A lot will rely on how Meta handles user privacy and safety on this new mobile-only service. However, the support for Threads does highlight the necessity for a neutral, secure environment where ideas may be discussed without restraints.
