People around the world are reporting that they can't use the tool. "Do I have to take PTO? I hate working without ChatGPT," one user on Reddit. "Please, let this be a voice update," another added, referring to the upcoming release of Voice Mode for the GPT-4 model.
Not all users of the app are experiencing performance issues, and the number of reported incidents is decreasing, according to Downdetector.com. (Note: Downdetector is owned by PCMag's parent company, Ziff Davis.)
The last outage of ChatGPT occurred on June 4. OpenAI acted quickly to resolve the issue, but the tool was down again a few hours later. ChatGPT also experienced problems in May, when a four-day upgrade caused service outages and delays.
