Chat GPT, the popular AI chatbot, faced a technical outage in the US on Thursday, leaving users frustrated. The glitch not only affected Chat GPT but also OpenAI’s services. When users tried to access the software, they were met with the error messages "404 Error, Page Not Found" or "Request is not allowed. Please try again later."
The outage sparked a flurry of reactions from users on X, with some expressing their disappointment and frustration. One user simply asked, "Chat gpt down again?" Another person commented, "How tf can chat gpt go down now. dammmm." A third user joked, "Chat GPT (Love of my life) is down. What should I do? Grok save me."
A fourth user lamented, "Chat Gpt being down on a day I planned to do some productive personal work is just going to encourage my laziness." A fifth person reacted, "Claude and Chat GPT are both down day after Christmas. Come on man." A sixth user, also on the Elon Musk-led website, exclaimed, "Chat gpt is down, just the moment I decided to study, b***h i got questions to solve."
This wasn’t the first time Chat GPT experienced technical issues. Earlier this month, the AI software encountered glitches that lasted for around three hours. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed the situation on X, joking, "I was about to offer to start being the mechanical turk for ChatGPT."
Despite the setbacks, Chat GPT remains a popular and widely-used AI chatbot. Its ability to generate human-like responses has made it a valuable tool for many users. However, incidents like this outage serve as a reminder that even the most advanced technology is not immune to errors and glitches.
