ChatGPT, he popular artificial intelligence chatbot from OpenAIis experiencing a widespread outage, leaving users around the world without access to the service.
According to some news reports, the company headed by Sam Altman confirmed the problem on its status page, indicating that “ChatGPT is not available for some users” and that they are actively working on a solution.
Why did ChatGPT crash?
The cause of the fall is still unclear. Platforms like DownDetector have been inundated with complaints from users, some reporting a complete inability to access the chatbot, while others can log in but cannot send queries or receive responses.
Given the unknown nature of the issue, typical troubleshooting steps for ChatGPT may not be effective at this time.
The fix is likely to come directly from OpenAI, and the service is expected to be restored soon.
Previous falls
This is not the first time ChatGPT has faced outages in recent weeks. A previous outage in the Microsoft Bing API also temporarily affected tools that rely on the GPT language model. However, in this case, the problem seems to be localized to the OpenAI servers.
