ChatGPT down: OpenAI chatbot not working in major outage
ChatGPT has gone offline in a major outage.
Visitors to OpenAI’s chatbot saw an array of strange behaviour – including the site attempting to download an unusual file.
Users joked that the outage meant they would have to use their own brains at work. But it also led to an array of problems across other sites and apps, many of which rely on OpenAI for their artificially intelligent features.
