The article does not exactly state what is measured, but suggests it measured web traffic (browser, I assume).
It’s very bold to state “ChatGPT user sessions went down by X” when not taking into account:
- iOS app launch (May ‘23)
- Android app launch (July ‘23)
- GPT3.5 turbo and GPT4 API general availability (July ‘23)
- the explosion of apps that users shift to after 3.5-turbo/4 API GA
I worked with ChatGPT’s web interface daily before the mobile app was launched, and my usage is now at say 70% web / 30% app. And countless extra “sessions” integrated directly in code editor (Cursor)
Perfect timing, I’m excited to what Astral will bring.
The python ecosystem keeps building momentum as “doing things with data” becomes bigger, more accessible, and also more (near) real-time and I think the ecosystem would really thrive with better, unambiguous tools that become de facto to the community of builders instead of plenty of suboptimal ones to choose from.
I'm getting the point of the post, but confused to what it means for community/public SO.
Is the essence really: "Please contribute manual qualitative solutions to public SO, so we can use it to train GenAI for our enterprise customers", or have I misread?
I think this non-announcement is the preamble to trying to change the licensing of SO content in such a way that other organizations can't use it as training data, but SO can. Obviously such a move would outrage the SO userbase so they're flailing about trying to spin it as something to do with 'community'.
Same here. I find doing a quick org-wide code search for a specific call a great starting point for impact analysis for API changes. Using it multiple times a week!
I'm writing this post because I'm done.

But for me, I can't take it anymore. I've hit rock bottom and I have nothing left to give. [...] Don't let your dreams consume you like they did for me,
I find this really alarming and hope that OP is OK'ish now, and that this is not a suicide note.
