Whenever I see a % data, I always believe the actual amount is really low. It just means on Saturday there were 4x the amount of uninstalls compared to every other day, which doesn’t seem much at all

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

it’s enough to be indicative
Indeed, without an error estimated from fluctuations, etc I cannot conclude how significative it was such...
Anthropic have at least one active 2 years deal with DoD that expires ~2027 https://www.anthropic.com/news/anthropic-and-the-department-of-defense-to-advance-responsible-ai-in-defense-operations
You guys have it installed on your phone?? Lord in heaven
Why not just fedex Altman your SSN and mother's maiden name to save yourself the trouble lmfao
I didn’t have a subscription but I still deleted my account.
same
I convinced two friends to cancel their monthly sub. I guess that's something.
Every little bit counts
How are they tracking uninstalls?
I'm surprised so many people were paying for it. Seems like more people want less ai not more these days.
People want less forced AI, but most people are fine with using it whenever they want
I’m one of them
But then I’m a student and work part time as a dev so I see the population that pretty much uses GenAI the most
Many of us are in our own little bubble. Nearly all regular folk use AI instead of Google now.
Some people are really deep in the sauce
I did it too and for that reason (dod contract)
I am not subscribed to openai. Is there a way for me to not subscribe even harder?
I'd say pirate it but well cloud based and all kinda takes the wind from those sails.
ai piracy is still possible! Break into the openai servers and yoink the gpt 5.2 weights. and then publish them
Why would you break in, the AI is Open, is in the name. Just walk in duh
Why bother when you have GLM 5.0 😎
What really sucks is Google is likely to remove all those 1 star reviews, they've done it before when shit like this happens.
Edit: i feel like a good review could be...
1 star. By using this service you'll be helping ChatGPT autonomously surveil you through the government and murder you with robots without any human in the loop. Don't let ChatGPT kill you!
Good. Fuck ‘em.
Fuck the game up. America makes terrorists and school shooters, and it's often on purpose, so be careful and understand the game.

(I seem to have lost the ability to embed gifs.)
But the fewer people who use it the less money they'll lose
i don't have app, but may install to prop the uninstall numbers
Ehhh. If they weren’t paying customers then it’ll certainly help their burn rate.
