Millions of people were unable to access ChatGPT, one of OpenAI’s most well-known artificial intelligence (AI) applications, due to a worldwide outage on Thursday.

On Thursday, a large number of irate users complained that ChatGPT was not functioning for them on the social media site X. Reports from several nations suggest that the problem is widespread, as evidenced by the complaints.

The outage has impacted thousands of customers, according to Downdetector, a platform that monitors internet disruptions. Early this morning, ChatGPT outage reports suddenly increased, according to the website’s data, and the number keeps growing as more users experience problems.

While some users claim the AI is not responding to commands at all, others are having trouble logging in. The outage is based on user-submitted complaints, as confirmed by Downdetector’s heat map, a technique that employs color to depict data values.

Almost 90% of users have complained about troubles with the ChatGPT app, and some users are also having trouble with the website. Regarding the cause and scope of the outage, OpenAI has not yet released an official statement.

Meanwhile, X is being inundated with remarks and memes about the matter from irate users.

A user jokingly stated, “Today, I lost access to ChatGPT for 20 minutes, and it felt like it was 2015 and Google Search had gone offline for a couple of hours.” “Everyone coming to X to confirm chatgpt down” was added by another user along with a meme. “ChatGPT down once more? “Shocked, but not shocked!” a user exclaimed.

According to another X user, “Chatgpt is always down in the middle of doing my assignment.” “Watching everyone freak out when Chatgpt is down and they have to use their brains we truly r doomed,” One user commented.

ChatGPT remained unavailable until this report was filed. Meanwhile, ChatGPT has experienced technical difficulties before, like the outage that occurred today.

A similar worldwide outage occurred on January 23 of last year, blocking users from accessing the AI chatbot on the web and the app. Over a thousand user complaints were reported by Downdetector during that downtime, and many irate customers took to X to voice their worries about the issue.
