ChatGPT down: Users around the world faces problems

After upgrading from ChatGPT 4 to ChatGPT 5, thinking of refurbishing the old one, ChatGPT is once again down with users complining across the world. A large number of complaints were seen on DownDetector.

New Delhi: The popular AI chatbot ChatGPT is once again facing technical problems. For some time now, users around the world have been unable to use its services. Many users have complained that the chatbot is not answering questions, causing them a lot of inconvenience.

A large number of complaints were seen on DownDetector

DownDetector, a website that monitors online outages, has confirmed this outage. According to the website, complaints from users were being registered continuously from 11 am to 12:54 pm.

During this time, a total of 547 reports came up, in which users said that ChatGPT is not working or no one is responding. This makes it clear that this is not a minor problem but a big technical problem that is affecting a large number of people.

Users are complaining on social media

After the news of ChatGPT being down, users on social media platforms, especially Twitter (now X), shared their problems with the hashtag #ChatGPTDown. Some people seemed angry about this outage, while some took it lightly through memes.

No official statement from OpenAI

So far, OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, has not given any official statement or response on this problem. It is not clear what the technical reasons are behind the server being down—whether it is part of maintenance or a sign of some other major problem.

Not the first time

It is worth noting that this is not the first time ChatGPT has gone down. There have been many such complaints about this platform before, especially when there is heavy user load on its servers or during a major update.

Side effects of dependence on technology?

Our increasing dependence on AI tools like ChatGPT shows that when they go down, a large number of people are affected by it. This incident again reminds us that no matter how smart digital tools are, they can also sometimes fall prey to technical flaws.
