ChatGPT, the popular AI chatbot from OpenAI, faced a major outage early in the morning, with users reporting 'bad gateway' errors. As many as 300 million weekly users were affected, and OpenAI confirmed elevated error rates. Within a few hours, they identified the issue and implemented a fix, although not all users were able to access the service immediately. The incident highlights ChatGPT's widespread usage and the need for reliable service amidst its rapid growth in the AI chatbot market.
Just after 6:40 a.m. ET this morning, DownDetector, a site that tracks online outages, saw a massive spike in reports that OpenAI's ChatGPT wasn't working.
Around 300 million people use OpenAI's chatbot every week, and the chatbot handles more than 1 billion messages a day.
