OpenAI may go bankrupt by 2024

ChatGPT's future in doubt

ChatGPT became the fastest growing platform ever after launching in Nov 2022. Millions used the AI chatbot.

But data shows ChatGPT users dropped in June and July vs May. Traffic fell almost 10% both months.

Reports say running ChatGPT costs $700K daily. OpenAI needs more funding to cover these costs.

OpenAI continues working on upgrades, filing new trademarks. But costs threaten its future.
