ChatGPT, the popular AI-powered chatbot, has gone offline due to a technical issue, affecting millions of users worldwide. The outage has also impacted OpenAI’s API and other services, causing widespread disruption.
According to Downdetector, a service that tracks outages, there has been a significant spike in complaints about ChatGPT being offline, with over 1,000 reports submitted. Users have taken to social media to express their frustration and confusion, reporting slow login processes and degraded performance.
“chatgpt pleae fix it all our history is in your hand we need our history back,” one user wrote on Downdetector.
An X user, expressing concern, wrote, “Second brain just stopped working! ChatGPT is down! #chatgptdown”
The outage has not only affected individual users but also firms that rely on OpenAI’s API for their projects. Many businesses have reported disruptions to their services, highlighting the widespread impact of the outage.
This is the third time ChatGPT has faced a major outage since December. The AI platform went down twice due to a technical outage in December.
As the outage continues, users are left waiting for a resolution, highlighting the importance of reliable technology infrastructure.
-Earlier on Thursday, Elon Musk clashed with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman over the Stargate artificial intelligence infrastructure project touted by President Donald Trump, the latest in a feud between the two tech billionaires that started on OpenAI’s board and is now testing Musk’s influence with the new president.
Trump on Tuesday had talked up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion through a new partnership formed by OpenAI, the maker of ChatGPT, alongside Oracle and SoftBank.
The new entity, Stargate, is already starting to build out data centres and the electricity generation needed for the further development of fast-evolving AI technology.
Trump declared it “a resounding declaration of confidence in America’s potential” under his new administration, with an initial private investment of $100 billion that could reach five times that sum.
But Musk, a close Trump adviser who helped bankroll his campaign and now leads a government cost-cutting initiative, questioned the value of the investment hours later.
“They don’t actually have the money,” Musk wrote on his social platform X. “SoftBank has well under $10B secured. I have that on good authority.”
