It also said users are migrating to rival chatbots such as Anthropic\u2019s Claude and Google\u2019s Gemini.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI developed ChatGPT and helped ignite Wall Street\u2019s AI boom. The company is preparing for an initial public offering this year.<\/p>\n<p>The report sent related stocks lower in New York trading. Nvidia, the leading AI-chip company, fell 1.6%, while Broadcom dropped 4.4%. AMD and Micron declined 3.4% and 3.9%, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Noh Jeong-dong, Hankyung.com reporter, dong2@hankyung.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Forecast Trend Report by Period See more mid- to long-term trend analysis&#8221;ChatGPT weekly active users stay below 1&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[8263,8257,3278,8255,580,8256,8262,8261,8259,8258,8260,3277,4637,157,7966],"class_list":{"0":"post-20765","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-openai","8":"tag-bitcoin","9":"tag-bitcoincommunity","10":"tag-blockchain","11":"tag-bloomingbit","12":"tag-chatgpt","13":"tag-coincommunity","14":"tag-coininfo","15":"tag-coininvest","16":"tag-coinnews","17":"tag-coinreview","18":"tag-coinstats","19":"tag-cryptocurrency","20":"tag-ethereum","21":"tag-openai","22":"tag-solana"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
