If a lot of ChatGPT users were students, I would expect a drop during summer vacation.

I predict another article from the Washington Post in August/September about how ChatGPT is seeing a rebound in usage.

Not a student, but getting constantly cloudflare-blocked and models seeming less capable every update has been giving me pause.
In fact I've been using Google Bard more and more because of exactly this. At least Bard doesn't ever block me and its responses are on par with GPT-3.5. Probably not as good as GPT-4 but reliability is important too.
You need a static custom front end, there are tons around. You only have to enter your API key once and no more login-cloudflare-auto logout loop
Here's a collection of front ends: https://github.com/billmei/every-chatgpt-gui
You’d be ~ 1% of their target market.
The article only addresses the website and application. I expect that what we will see is a shift from individual users to enterprise usage. Individuals are not going to subscribe indefinitely, but I expect corporate access to the API will continue to be healthy.
What odds would you give that said autumn term article will be written by ChatGPT? :)
