Where are the scientists, lawyers, doctors, office workers etc? You&amp;#x27;d expect a slowing in the rate of growth, not shrinking.&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#x27;t know, if high school and undergrad students being off for the summer is enough to shrink your app maybe it&amp;#x27;s not all that?&lt;p&gt;Edit: I understand there are new tools coming, but most of them aren&amp;#x27;t out yet. GPT4 was &lt;i&gt;just&lt;/i&gt; released. For the most part, if you want to play with AI, ChatGPT is it. If they&amp;#x27;re really experiencing a decline in users that&amp;#x27;s not great for them.</text></comment>

This is almost as bad as people freaking out that total traffic in Feb is down 10% from Jan.</text></comment>
