Global Outage of ChatGPT
Users attempting to access ChatGPT, a widely used artificial intelligence platform, have encountered an error message stating “Something went wrong.” This issue has been reported by individuals worldwide, including those in Japan, Europe, and the US, according to ‘Downdetector’. The outage began at 12:00 Spanish peninsular time, causing problems with the chat application.
The cause of the outage remains unknown, and the technology company, owned by Sam Altman, has not provided an explanation for the global drop. As a result, many users have taken to social media platforms to share their experiences and determine if they are the only ones affected.
Error Reports and Alternatives
Users have reported errors when trying to open conversations and receive responses from the machine. The system has also experienced issues with its mobile version on both iOS and Android. In the event of such outages, alternatives like Microsoft Copilot and Google Gemini can be used. These platforms offer similar features and functionalities, making them viable options for those affected by the ChatGPT outage.
Microsoft Copilot, which uses the GPT-4 model, provides access to current information, images, and documents. It is integrated into the Microsoft ecosystem and personalizes responses based on user needs. Google Gemini, on the other hand, offers a more accessible and natural chat experience, with Google investing heavily in the development of its AI technology.
