#4I do think AI is here to stay, but that initial round of AI is going to destroy the world burned fast and hot.
I can't even get ChatGPT (+ web plugin), when given a list of restaurants in NYC, to tell me which ones are still open vs have closed, and what their hours of operation / locations are.
This is a pretty low bar request IMO. Showed me we still have a ways to go before AI is where we thought it was 3-4 months ago.

#5Who would guess that inflated expectations from mass media are not going as expected.
These last years were good. I’ve been surfing the AI wave well, but better go back to more traditional projects now the AI time is fading.

#7It shouldn't be surprising that this happens. People test ChatGPT, find the limitations, and then if those limitations are blockers, they stop using it. If they aren't, they continue.
It's not as if Browse with Bing was a major feature, but they removed that, and then they've tweaked system limitations over time such that more and more types of topics are restricted or give cursory answers to things.
It's not surprising to me that this happened given the inherent limits and the rapidly changing limits that affect how the platform can be used.

Hey the initial round of AI was decades ago, FYI.

#9Possibly related with school summer time in many countries.

#10If a lot of ChatGPT users were students, I would expect a drop during summer vacation.
I predict another article from the Washington Post in August/September about how ChatGPT is seeing a rebound in usage.
