Welcome Back, ChatGPT: The AI Chatbot That Everyone is Talking About
Recently, ChatGPT went through a brief outage that left users in dismay. The outage tracking website, Downdetector, was flooded with reports from users who were unable to access OpenAI’s popular chatbot.
According to reports, a staggering 91% of users faced issues while trying to access ChatGPT. For 7% of users, the website was completely inaccessible, while the rest struggled to log into their ChatGPT accounts.
Outraged users took to social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) to vent about the disruption in their AI-powered conversations.
