AIUh oh! ChatGPT is down for a while now, and the jokes...

ChatGPT, the super cool AI chat machine from OpenAI, has been down for a few hours now, leaving people hanging. According to downdetector.com, a website that tracks outages, many folks are having trouble logging in, getting error messages, and can’t chat with ChatGPT at all.

OpenAI’s status website (https://status.openai.com/) says they’re on the case, though. It says there are “Increased errors for ChatGPT” and they’re looking into it. In the meantime, people are having a laugh about it on Twitter.

Let’s face it, we’ve all been there. You’re chatting with ChatGPT, about to ask something super interesting, and then…bam! An error message. Don’t worry, it’s not your computer going crazy (well, hopefully not anyway).

While the exact cause of the outage is not yet known, reports suggest that it may be affecting users in certain locations more than others. There have been a large number of reports from the United Kingdom, Middle East, Japan, and the United States, but users from other parts of the world have also reported experiencing issues.

OpenAI has not yet publicly acknowledged the outage, but it is likely that they are investigating the issue and working on a fix. In the meantime, users who are experiencing problems with ChatGPT may want to try restarting their devices or clearing their browsers’ caches.

Here are some of the tweets from the users experiencing the outage:

In the meantime, keep calm and meme on! And hey, if you’re feeling the itch to chat with an AI while ChatGPT snoozes it off, there are other large language models in the sea (or should we say, the cloud?). Gemini (https://gemini.google.com/) and Copilot (https://copilot.microsoft.com/) are both waiting to chat, and their interfaces are practically twins of ChatGPT’s. So, you won’t get lost – just pick up where you left off and get your work done, boys (and girls, and everyone else)!
