Earlier this month, data analyzed by Deutsche Bank showed that OpenAI\u2019s ChatGPT revenue was starting to plateau in Europe<\/a>, suggesting that enthusiasm for the AI chatbot app to beat may be waning.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s despite the industry\u2019s sky-high promises of delivering a technological revolution, as astronomical amounts of money<\/a> continue to be poured into building out AI infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Now it appears that a similar story may be playing out elsewhere in the world as well. As TechCrunch<\/em> reports<\/a>, third-party app intelligence firm Apptopia found that ChatGPT\u2019s mobile app usage appears to have stopped around the beginning of September \u2014 and has actually started to decline<\/em> since then.<\/p>\n

Despite only being two-thirds into October, Apptopia warns that ChatGPT global downloads are down over eight percent month-over-month. Even more ominously for OpenAI, data shows that ChatGPT users in the US are spending less and less time with the app, with average time spent per daily active user dropping 22.5 percent since July.<\/p>\n

Apptopia suggests that it\u2019s not simply a matter of people becoming more efficient with their ChatGPT prompts, since both average time spent and the average number of sessions are declining.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s far from a death knell for the Sam Altman-led company \u2014 millions of people are still downloading the app each day. The data is also limited to mobile data and doesn\u2019t include desktop users. <\/p>\n

However, it does suggest that OpenAI\u2019s narrative of explosive growth is fading. Growing concerns over an AI bubble have stoked fear into investors as of late, with even industry insiders warning<\/a> that large language models like ChatGPT may turn out to be a dead end<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Simultaneously, widespread disillusionment with the tech, particularly concerning hallucinations, is becoming more apparent by the week<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The company\u2019s latest GPT-5 model has also failed to impress, with a recent study<\/a> finding that it\u2019s actually worse<\/a> than its predecessor GPT-4o when it comes to ensuring AI safety. The model\u2019s rollout quickly turned messy<\/a> in August and was met with a major user revolt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As OpenAI continues to search for alternative sources of revenue, from ads to monetizing its\u00a0text-to-video generator app<\/a>\u00a0Sora, ChatGPT remains the firm\u2019s most important lifeline.<\/p>\n

As the\u00a0Financial Times<\/em> reported<\/a> earlier this month, paying ChatGPT subscribers represent roughly 70 percent of its annual recurring revenue.<\/p>\n

While Altman boasted that 800 million people are using the app, only five percent are willing to pay for a subscription, indicating it\u2019s struggling to convince the vast majority of users<\/a> that it\u2019s worth $20 per month.<\/p>\n

Besides growing disillusionment, users may also be flocking to OpenAI\u2019s ever-present competition, such as Google\u2019s Gemini.<\/p>\n

In short, OpenAI will have to find new ways to attract users \u2014 and convince them to pay for a subscription. It\u2019s clearly desperate: the company recently announced it will allow for \u201cmature\u201d ChatGPT apps<\/a>.<\/p>\n
