A major first world glitch for the popular AI, GPT chat has been down for the past few hours. So far, over 15,000 reports have been received, but it is estimated that hundreds of thousands around the world are experiencing the problem.
As mentioned in the last hour, the users are experiencing a malfunction, both in the paid subscription service and in the free service: the users who try to enter the chat encounter a blank screen without any response.
The owner company OpenAI said: “GPT chat is experiencing high error rates. The problem is caused by an external provider and we are monitoring the situation.” About two hours later, the company added: “We continue to work on a solution to the problem.”
GPT Chat is a large language model based on artificial intelligence, developed by the company OpenAI. The model was trained on huge amounts of text, allowing it to create diverse and complex texts, such as articles, poems, codes and even conduct meaningful conversations. GPT Chat quickly became a popular tool among researchers, developers, and ordinary people, thanks to its ability to perform a wide variety of tasks related to natural language processing.
These types of glitches highlight our growing dependence on artificial intelligence technologies. GPT chat has become an integral part of the daily routine of many, who use it for a wide variety of tasks, from doing homework to writing marketing content. Therefore, faults that disable the service cause a significant disruption to the productivity and work routine of many. Repeated failures raise concerns about the reliability and durability of AI-based services.
