This ignores people who open ChatGPT.com or use the app

  But it ignores them equally throughout the year… It’s not an exact measure, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a useful metric. So long as the measurement is unbiased and captures enough of the traffic, it can still be useful. The troughs in that graph are all during prime US school/college vacation times: Summer, Winter, and Spring breaks. And then magnitude of the fall corresponds to how long the breaks typically are. To me, that makes a lot of sense.

    Yeah but it's old. There was no dip in 2024, only a steady increase.

      It seems like there was a dip in mid-May and that it didn't go back up until mid/late-August? That corresponds pretty closely to US summer breaks. Also a huge spike in early December followed up a huge drop, final exams and then winter break?
