Did the AI turn off? ChatGPT traffic growth rate drops sharply
ChatGPT, which has sparked a global AI craze, seems to have entered a bottleneck period. According to the website data analysis tool SimilarWeb, the growth rate of ChatGPT traffic in the early stage was astonishing, with a month on month growth rate of 131.6% in January, 62.5% in February, and 55.8% in March. It slowed down significantly in April, with a month on month growth rate of 12.6%. By May, this number had become 2.8%. The month on month growth rate in June may be negative.
However, not only ChatGPT, but the entire AI sector seems to be in a state of stalling. Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett stated in his latest report that there are preliminary signs that investors are fleeing technology stocks - the sector has just experienced the largest capital outflow in 10 weeks, reaching $2 billion.
On June 23 local time, Jim Bianco, president of Bianco Research and market forecaster, said in an interview that anything related to AI, whether Nvidia or some other stocks, has now entered the foam zone. Bianco pointed out that AI will indeed realize the promise that everyone thinks it can achieve. It will be as revolutionary as the Internet, but at the same time their stocks will plummet, because the hype of stocks and AI is "completely different".
