ChatGPT’s User Growth Slows — Cue the Corporate Panic

Well, surprise, surprise! The almighty ChatGPT — yes, the shiny chatbot that everyone and their dog was playing with — has hit the goddamn brakes. According to this TechCrunch piece of “news,” user growth has slowed down because, apparently, people have finally found better things to do than ask an AI to write their Tinder bios or fake work emails. No shit, Sherlock!

OpenAI’s once floor-smashing growth chart looks more like my motivation on a Monday morning — flatlining. The report complains that monthly active users aren’t multiplying like horny rabbits anymore, and engagement’s dropped too. Maybe the novelty of arguing with a robot that tells you it can’t swear wore off? Or maybe, just maybe, everyone realized you can’t get instant life fulfillment from yet another “smart assistant” that forgets what you said thirty seconds ago.

So what’s the grand plan? Oh, more “enterprise tools,” integrations, and endless corporate fluff to plug the leaky bucket of user attention. Because nothing says “innovation” like charging companies for features that used to be free. I give it six months before they start offering “ChatGPT Premium Ultra Infinity” that can finally remember your bloody name.

Anyway, while OpenAI polishes their press releases and pretends this is fine, the rest of us can sit back, sip our coffee, and watch the slow-motion trainwreck of hype meeting reality. It’s beautiful, really — like watching a server catching fire because some intern thought sudo rm -rf / was a good idea.

Reminds me of the time some dimwit in marketing decided to “increase engagement” by sending 10,000 emails per minute — from the production server. The firewall wept, the switches screamed, and I just sat there eating crisps, muttering, “Let it burn.” Ah, good times.
