Yes, people are still using ChatGPT and still subscribe to their pro version, especially non-tech users; they even think that the only AI that exists is ChatGPT 
I think it really depends on the workflow and what someone uses AI for daily. Every platform has improved a lot lately, and honestly the competition between ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and others is pushing all of them forward. Some models are better for coding, some for writing, and some for image generation.For me, ChatGPT started the hype and it is still probably the largest AI company with millions of users worldwide.
But last updates didn't reach our expectations.
Nowadays, Gemini from Google is better overall, in basically everything. Claude, Qwen, Deep Seek and others are also better or at least, in the same level in most use cases.
Gemini basically killed my interest on ChatGPT a few days ago, when they launched Nano Banana, their new Image generator. ChatGPT was the king about image generation, now, not even that anymore. It's better about very specific things, like cartoonize photos, but in general, it's worse than Nano Banana.
So, is there any point in using ChatGPT Plus on August 30, 2025?
For now, in my opinion, Gemini is the king overall. For some specific usages, there are free alternatives, I don't see any reason to keep paying for ChatGPT. Are you still paying for it?
