ChatGPT’s traffic on mobile and web versions dipped globally in June for the first time since last November. This also marks the first time the AI chatbot has seen such a decline in the website’s monthly traffic and unique visitors. 

Analytics firm SimilarWeb found that the global traffic to OpenAI’s site for ChatGPT fell by 9.7 percent in June. Meanwhile, the rate of unique visitors also dipped by 5.7 percent. Additionally, the amount of time visitors spent on the website was down by 8.5 percent. OpenAI launched the iOS version of ChatGPT in May and it has been downloaded 17 million times globally. However, there was also a decline in downloads of the app. 

SimilarWeb reported that the ChatGPT site still attracts more visitors than bing.com, Microsoft’s search engine, and Character.AI. The AI chatbot from OpenAI boasts 1.5 million monthly visitors and is one of the top 20 websites globally. Additionally, other generative AI-based platforms like Google Bard also noticed a tip in traffic. The analytics firm says that the interest in ChatGPT seems to be waning, however, such a conclusion is not easy to draw. 

There is no clear indication in behind the decline in traffic and user engagement of ChatGPT. However, it is attributed to summer break for schools and college students, or there may be cases where people spent a brief time with the AI chatbot and then left at least for now.
