Amidst the controversy with the government, Claude became America's number one app, surpassing ChatGPT and Gemini in downloads.

ChatGPT app uninstalls have increased rapidly.
According to reports, following this controversy, people began removing the ChatGPT app from their mobile phones. Some reports claim that the number of app uninstalls increased by approximately 295% in just a few days. This sudden drop has become a cause for concern for the company, as ChatGPT has been among the most used AI chatbots in the world in recent months.

Free ChatGPT Plus Offered to Users
Amidst the controversy, several users claimed on social media that they had been offered a free one-month ChatGPT Plus subscription by the company. While the company has not clarified which countries or users this offer is being extended to, there is a growing buzz in the tech community that the company may be offering such promotional offers to retain users.

Has this benefited anyone?
This controversy appears to be benefiting other companies in the AI ​​sector as well. In particular, there have been reports of a rapid increase in downloads of Anthropic's AI chatbot, Cloud. The company had previously made it clear that it would not allow its AI technology to be used for purposes such as developing autonomous weapons or mass surveillance of American citizens. Following this statement, many users turned to the cloud.

What did OpenAI's CEO say?
Following the controversy, Sam Altman clarified the matter. He admitted that the company was hasty in agreeing with the US government. According to Altman, the company has now revised its partnership and ensured that AI technology will not be used to monitor American citizens. He also stated that this issue is complex and the company needs to provide further clarity.

Indeed, with the rapid development of AI technology, a major question is arising: should AI be used for military and surveillance purposes? Many tech companies around the world are now adopting different policies on this issue. Some companies are willing to work with governments, while others are calling for limited use.
