Data firm Similarweb has discovered that "ChatGPT's mobile and desktop traffic worldwide decreased by nearly 10% from May to June" and Sensor Tower reckons ChatGPT's app downloads "have been steadily dipping since they peaked in early June". Nobody knows what's causing it for sure (students taking summer holidays in the northern hemisphere is one argument), but it's a sign that the buzz of AI is tempering. Meanwhile, comedian Sarah Silverman is suing OpenAI and Meta, claiming their AI systems were "trained on illegally-acquired datasets containing their works, which they say were acquired from 'shadow library' websites like Bibliotik, Library Genesis, Z-Library, and others". Just another lawsuit for the pile. When are we gonna get a ruling on one of these??
