Data shows ChatGPT use decreased by nearly 10 percent from May to June.

ChatGPT use shrank after schools let out, users discovered ChatGPT lies, employers banned its use, etc. as WaPost source article says.

Those *may* be factors in the usage drop and not just correlations.

The language of your Masto post implies a cause-and-effect relationship of solely harmful response blocks (though the article headline is not much better).
