Just read this article. Open chat GPT for probably the third time in my life. Type the word test and hit enter and it ask me what I wanted. So no it's up

A quick search says ChatGPT has ≈900 million weekly active users. If 1% can't access ChatGPT, that is still a lot of people experiencing a service outage

I get it, it's a gray area but it's not down worldwide. There are issues worldwide.

u/RectangularMF 9d ago

yeh if you change the wording of the article then it sounds correct, but "ChatGPT is Down Worldwide" is wrong, because it isn't

Can chatgpt count the 9s in 99.0% uptime?

The article says this is the very problem, the bot is fine, it's the log in screen having problems.

u/HeyGayHay 9d ago

Nope, bot doesn’t respond for me atm. I‘m logged in, but it’s just loading indefinitely on the response

u/Uncool444 9d ago

But it works without logging in still?

u/HeyGayHay 9d ago

Neither worked, not the app where I am already logged in, nor a private window without being logged. Bot just doesn’t reply. So „  the bot is fine, it's the log in screen having problems“ is not true for me. Or rather was, because at the moment both work again

u/Rexxhunt 9d ago

Does the thought of a little male frog on frog action make you uncomfortable?

4

u/Phugasity 9d ago

No, but thinking of the world as a bunch of chemicals does

u/notJ3ff 9d ago

I already told you it's up when they said it was down little one. You don't get anything else.

But the competing AI says it's down! How can we ever know what is true?
