It's unsurprising if it's losing users, both because the hype was immense. My girlfriends flatmate used it to write a legal-sounding letter to their landlord. My 14yo son has used it to write fun stories to share with his friends. Seemingly "everyone" has tried it. And for most of them it doesn't solve a frequent real issue.

At the same time for many of those of us for whom it is useful, a lot of the initial use was experimentation to find the right use cases. I still use it, but I use it for the things where I know it works for me, and so I use it less than at the peak when use was dominated by learning.

Others will have found areas where alternatives like self-hosted LLMs are good enough.

Use will like grow again over time as people get more experience and build useful things on top of it. But it won't be the same rush.
