Chegg down 37% on the impact of ChatGPT on their business.

Chegg down 37% on the impact of ChatGPT on their business.

That doesn't seem like such a bad thing.

Sure, but I think it's indicative of the speed at which AI is upending businesses. Chegg is 17 years old and employs over 2'000 people. 

What are we going to do if businesses like this decline or go out of business?
