ChatGPT users may encounter problems connecting to the program this afternoon after outages were reported about an hour ago on Down Detector, a website that crowdsources reports on connection problems.

Most users see this error message: “ChatGPT is currently unavailable. Status: Identified – We have identified the issue and are working to implement a solution.”

News of the outage follows a similar saga that played out today on meta platforms such as Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp.

A similar message was published on X

However, there is no timeline for when the AI ​​will be back online. Open AI, the organization that owns ChatGPT, posted a similar message on X: “We are currently experiencing an outage. We have identified the issue and are working to introduce a solution. Sorry, we’ll keep you posted!”

Since Open AI began communicating with users about the issues, no details about the cause of the outage have been reported.
