OpenAI's ChatGPT app is experiencing outages, preventing users from joining chats or accessing previous conversations.
While OpenAI has not made any official comment on the outage, nearly 4,000 people have flagged issues using ChatGPT on the site, according to Downdetector.
The outage appears to have affected not just ChatGPT, but many other OpenAI services as well. Many believe that the GPT-4o and GPT-4o mini-models are facing downtime, causing widespread disruption.
The use of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence platforms is becoming more and more common in everyday life. Recently, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman declared that humans will "never" be smarter than AI.
In a recent podcast appearance, the entrepreneur also shared his vision of a future where AI surpasses human intelligence. Mr. Sam Altman believes this change is a natural law of life for many generations.
OpenAI confirmed a significant outage of its service in late December that left many users unable to access ChatGPT. OpenAI began notifying users of the outage shortly after 6 a.m. ET on December 12.
OpenAI's outage is considered serious, affecting not only APIs but also products like ChatGPT and Sora - the AI video creation service that the company has just officially launched.
With so many companies relying on OpenAI API access for their own projects, the outage affected millions of users, forcing OpenAI to make extensive efforts to restore service as quickly as possible.
ChatGPT (short for Chat Generative Pre-training Transformer) is a chatbot developed by OpenAI, an American technology company specializing in research and development of artificial intelligence. It is considered a natural language processing tool integrated with AI, allowing automatic conversation with humans through chats.
