June 4, 2024 - ChatGPT, the popular AI-powered chatbot, is currently facing an unresolved incident that has left some users unable to access the platform. This outage comes on the heels of a series of technical issues that plagued the service yesterday.
Yesterday's issues began with reports of increased latency affecting ChatGPT, making it slow and unresponsive for many users. Engineers quickly sprang into action, implementing a fix and monitoring the results. However, the problems didn't end there.
As the day went on, mobile users began experiencing difficulties generating new conversations that included images. The issue was investigated and eventually resolved, with engineers identifying and reverting a user-impacting update that had caused the problem.
Despite these efforts, the issues persist, with some users still unable to access ChatGPT as of June 4. The cause of the outage is currently unknown, and engineers are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
This series of technical difficulties highlights the challenges of relying on complex AI systems and the importance of robust testing and maintenance.
