OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot faced a widespread outage on Thursday, with users around the world reporting elevated error rates. The company's status page confirmed ongoing issues, but did not specify the cause. As thousands of users encountered difficulties, many turned to social media to express their frustrations. OpenAI noted that they were working on a resolution, but the incident highlights the vulnerabilities in AI infrastructure, especially with significant projects like the $500 billion Stargate initiative looming on the horizon.
The generative Artificial Intelligence chatbot fell over on Thursday. Its developer, OpenAI, reported elevated error rates on its status page.
The outage appears widespread. Users in the UK started encountering problems just before midday, and others in the USA also encountered difficulties.
OpenAI's latest status update was that it was continuing to work on a fix for this issue, which will be of scant comfort to developers.
The timing of the outage is unfortunate, coming shortly after the announcement of the $500 billion Stargate infrastructure project.
