Is ChatGPT down? ChatGPT experiencing 'partial outage'
ChatGPT, the chatbot service developed by OpenAI, is currently experiencing a "partial outage" leading to disruptions on the platform as of June 10. According to an update on the OpenAI website, the issue is being investigated as users encounter "elevated error rates and latency" on services including ChatGPT, APIs, and Sora.
Investigation and Fix
OpenAI engineers have identified the root cause of the problem and are working diligently to resolve it. In a statement on X, OpenAI mentioned that they are striving for a quick resolution. The latest update on the OpenAI website states that they are still in the process of monitoring the fix and are working towards full recovery.
Decrease in Reports
As of before 2:30 p.m. ET, there has been a notable decrease in reports, with only 516 reports compared to the peak of nearly 2,000 reports around 11 a.m. ET according to DownDetector.
User Reactions
Users have taken to social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to express their frustrations and experiences with the outage. ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence chatbot launched in 2022 by OpenAI, operates differently from predictive AI. Generative AI is trained on vast amounts of data to recognize patterns and create diverse content forms such as voices, music, pictures, and videos.
ChatGPT enables users to engage with the chatbot in a conversational manner, generating responses to various queries and prompts. Advocates believe that ChatGPT could revolutionize online search engines and provide support for research, content creation, and customer service chatbots.
However, the service has faced criticisms with some expressing concerns about the potential spread of misinformation and plagiarism facilitated by ChatGPT and similar AI programs.
