I don't think you realize how much people use ChatGPT.
It’s not ChatGPT specifically but all services. It doesn’t become heavily integrated into people’s workflow or lives and they stop paying for it.
The tech industry’s usage should not be extrapolated to everyone.
So what is this evidence that shows that ChatGPT is having good user retention numbers?
On a more serious note the only ones that could prove that ChatGPT user retention numbers are really good is OpenAi. Since it would be very good for them to do that and they haven't done it one should infer that the numbers aren't that good.
Why would OpenAI share their retention numbers for their competitors to know? Nobody outside of silly AI-skeptic HN devs would think they have crappy retention.
But you did. Here, I'll quote you: "There is no evidence that ChatGPT has a retention problem. Quite the contrary.". That is your claim about ChatGPTs retention, that it is good. Later we find out that there is no evidence but only anecdotes to support your claim.
> But assuming they have poor retention is just silly.
What would be silly is to assume that they have good retention numbers. The logic of it I wrote in the previous post. What logic are you using to arrive to your conclusion?
> Why would OpenAI share their retention numbers for their competitors to know?
One would usually share those numbers to get more money from investors.
What the fuck would their competitors do with their retention numbers?
> Nobody outside of silly AI-skeptic HN devs would think they have crappy retention.
They say that name calling is the last resort of the truly desperate. No wonder your post ends like this.
.... yes they share them with their prospective investors, not publicly lol. did you seriously just say this?
> What the fuck would their competitors do with their retention numbers?
The fact that you would even ask this question (and your ridiculous previous comment) shows your ineptitude and how pointless it is to discuss this with you
Run along now, go tell everyone how Dropbox is just a pointless FTP wrapper and will never catch on
Maybe look in the mirror. The fact that you wrote this instead of writing what their competitors could do with their retention numbers shows that there is no point in any discussion with you.
No normie in my life ever talks of using Gemini or Llama in their day to day life. Maybe some turbo twitter addict boomies talk about using grok, but that's about it.
Regular people are leveraging chatGPT to pick up the slack that google search enshittification left in their lives. It's a Skype to Zoom shift and lots of people here seem to not really appreciate it. They are too caught up on esoteric benchmark scores to recognize the tectonic plates moving beneath them.
Everyone else doesn’t even know the difference. They don’t even know copilot is a chat bot or LLM.
And there aren’t enough technical people on the planet to pay those bills.
This rings so true to me. The tech side seems hyperfocused in on these diminishing return results around benchmarks, but I just don't see a 4% improvement in X benchmark as any kind of market mover.
