Thousands of people have reported they are unable to use the world’s best-known artificial intelligence (AI) tool, ChatGPT
Downdetector, which tracks website outages, showed more than 10,000 people reported the AI chatbot, which is made by OpenAI, was not working in the UK on Thursday.
Users attempting to use it were met with a message reading “the web server reported a bad gateway error”.
OpenAI has not yet publicly commented on the outage. The BBC has contacted the firm for comment.
However, many people have taken to social media to highlight the problem and the disruption it is causing them.
