After a global outage of the AI bot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT is back online

The global outage of ChatGPT, which reportedly affected thousands of users, has yet to be addressed by OpenAI.
OpenAI’s ChatGPT has been restored to service after thousands of users reported issues with the artificial intelligence tool on Monday. The online outage tracking site Downdetector discovered that at least 1,200 users encountered an error while attempting to access the chatbot.

The cause of the outage is unknown because the company has not addressed the issue. According to the Downdetector, 82% had problems with ChatGPT, 11% had login issues, and 7% had problems with the website.

The operational status page on OpenAI’s website stated that there was a ‘outage on chat.openai.com,’ which was later updated with a statement stating that the company was investigating the matter. Almost four hours later, the problems appeared to be resolved, as the site resumed normal operation.

Many Twitter users took to the platform to share updates and memes about the outage.

ChatGPT Plus subscribers, who pay $20 per month, were disappointed by the AI chatbot’s global failure.

‘ChatGPT+ users who are actually paying so that they don’t get c****y service, have been unable to use Chat GPT for hours now…” wrote a premium user.
Another user dubbed the service the “worst” because it provided no updates on the outage.
Upon being asked about its problems, ChatGPT has informed users that it doesn’t have the knowledge about particular technical erors or outages nor does it have the skill to ‘monitor the functioning of the system or its components’.

GPT 4, the fourth generation of the large language model (LLM), was recently released. The latest chatbot version from Microsoft-backed OpenAI will include new features such as multimodality, video processing, and the ability to create AI-generated videos from simple text prompts. ChatGPT and other GPT-3.5-powered technologies can currently only provide text-based responses.
