ChatGPT Down Worldwide, OpenAI Working on Solution

As a crypto investor who heavily relies on advanced AI tools like ChatGPT for market analysis, I’m deeply concerned about the ongoing service disruptions. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it could potentially impact my investment decisions and ultimately affect my financial wellbeing.


As an analyst, I’ve been observing the ongoing predicament with ChatGPT, and based on the information available to me, it seems that numerous users are encountering difficulties in accessing the service. Some have reportedly faced problems with website accessibility, while others have been unable to elicit responses from the chatbot. On desktop platforms, a red “Internal Server Error” message appears, and similar complications have been noted on iPhones as well.

According to Downdetector, an online monitoring platform, an outage affecting various services, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT, started around 1 PM IST (Indian Standard Time). OpenAI’s official status page acknowledges that some users are experiencing issues with ChatGPT and their team is working diligently to diagnose and resolve the problem.

As a crypto investor utilizing OpenAI’s API, I’ve come across an issue where the support team has identified the cause and is working on a resolution. Despite this, the API continues to operate, meaning that third-party services relying on OpenAI’s technology may still be functioning normally.

As a crypto investor, I find myself at a loss as to why ChatGPT isn’t providing me with the answers I seek. Perhaps I need to reach out to a human expert for assistance. #CryptoInvestorDilemma

Users have expressed their views about the outage on X through a variety of means, including humorous memes and gripes. In spite of the extensive disruption caused, OpenAI has yet to give an estimated timeframe for when the service will be completely back up and running.

ChatGPT, introduced in late 2022 as an AI chatbot, has experienced remarkable growth, attracting over 100 million users within just two months of its launch. However, this advanced tool has encountered two major disruptions in its operation this year. The first interruption took place on February 14, lasting from approximately 8:30 PM to 10:45 PM IST.

In essence, OpenAI is currently addressing an ongoing issue, which could mean further disruptions for some users. However, those utilizing the API for external apps may not be impacted. OpenAI has openly acknowledged the problem and is actively working on finding a resolution.
