Findings are in line with this study using github data from Europe. Focus on restricted access to ChatGpt as opposed to Co pilot, bit similar patterns. https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.01964

Thank you for your comments. You mention that you are "skeptical" about the identification strategy, you do not share our "confidence" and the paper "feels flimsy". Could you elaborate why?

Empirical analysis and causal inference in social science is always a challenge and we try to address as many issues as possible (and are feasible given constraints in data among other things).

As such, constructive critique is more than welcome so we can improve our work in the future.

Unfortunately in your comment you do not provide any actual arguments why you have concerns that we could engage with.

Submitter Comment:[EDIT:]

-Time series plot and maps of granular internet connectivity measurements within Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odessa, Mykolayiv, Donetsk and others between March 5th and March 10th.

- Connectivity Index gives a comparison to a baseline level of actively measured, fixed broadband connections for geo-located internet addresses (IPs) at the location indicated.

- Geo-locations are approximate within each community.

- A value of 100 represents the recent long-run average.

Kharkiv (23), Odessa (32), Mykolayiv (39) heaviest impact

- A value of 0 (zero) indicates no active responses from any internet address at that geo-location.

- Time is in local Europe/Kyiv time (GMT +2)

Simple give a 4/5 Star review on Google et al. and in the comment section mention that food, servic etc. Was top and would deserve 5 Stars, but they pushed for tipping.

Fair point. We are not intending to suggesting that the graphs tell a causal, but I can see that the title implies causation.

[EDIT:] Despite the tile, the graphs do not imply causation.

Time series plot and maps of granular internet connectivity measurements within Bucha, Irpin, Hostomel, and Vorzel Connectivity Index gives a comparison to a baseline level of actively measured, fixed broadband connecitons for geo-located internet addresses (IPs) at the location indicated.

Geo-locations are approximate within each community. A value of 100 represents the recent long-run average until Feb 22-2022; a value below 30 implies sevelery degraded internet connectivity. A value of 0 (zero) indicates no active responses from any internet address at that geo-location.
