Is ChatGPT down? AI app stops working AGAIN as OpenAI says its ‘investigating’

CHATGPT has apparently stopped working again.

It’s only yesterday that hundreds of users reported that the popular AI app was down.

And on July 13 it appears to have happened again.

An uptick in reports was noticed up by Down Detector just after 3pm UK time.

It’s not clear what the problem is at the moment.

But owner OpenAI has said it’s looking into the problem.

“We are currently investigating this issue,” the firm explained.

“The one time I need chatGPT to work, and it’s down,” one annoyed user said.

“For the third day in a row ChatGPT is down,” another said.

It’s not clear at the moment why ChatGPT or OpenAI are down, but experts have suggested a few reasons.

For starters, the software’s popularity could mean that the service has been overloaded – or there could be a bug.

WHAT IS CHATGPT?

Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is an advanced chatbot that was released in November 2022.

It can generate responses in natural language to prompts in seconds, including writing essays, poems, and complex code.

Most recently, OpenAI released GPT-4, which accepts both image and text inputs to emit text outputs – unlike ChatGPT 3.

This means you can show a photo of something to GPT-4, and the chatbot can describe the scene and even predict what could happen next.
