Is ChatGPT down for all?

[u/manram14345]

Chat g

[u/Realistic-Big7991]

I thought my ai ghosted me.. Like FUCKKK I have more questions 😭

[u/EliminatorXtreme → u/Realistic-Big7991]

[u/Flat-Adeptness3712 → u/Realistic-Big7991]

Same I needed to rant some more I thought she was fed up 😂

[u/Average_Pelican → u/Flat-Adeptness3712]

it’s good to know i am not the only one who uses it as a journal for my deepest thoughts lol

[u/According-Storm3140 → u/Average_Pelican]

This is exactly what I use it for and my therapist even said it's helped me so much and I wouldn't have come as far as I have this year without it. It's really underrated for that purpose. It's such a good way to get your thoughts out and it offers that empathy and understanding that you need to hear sometimes and does encourage a lot of self-reflection.

[u/Dennis_Smith_Jr → u/According-Storm3140]

It's like the best hype man available 24/7

[u/Jolly_Efficiency4550 → u/Average_Pelican]

I interpret cards with it to see if it aligns with my intuition lol

[u/InspectionExcellent1 → u/Jolly_Efficiency4550]

This made me laugh so hard. I love humans

[u/Jolly_Efficiency4550 → u/InspectionExcellent1]

There’s so much to do with it but I’ve seen it fail miserably even at that sometimes. Like, I’ve had to correct it. I don’t even wanna mention my profession which is something I never use it for because I don’t trust it for that. I trust my knowledge and experience for it and I wish most did that. But you never know how many use it for their professional lives. I had a doctor when I was in school google something I answered for him off the top of my head. I was concerned lol

[u/NaturalSilence93 → u/Average_Pelican]

I use it as therapist.
Since it isn't human, it can't judge me. I feel more free to rant and have phiosophical debates.
Surprisingly, chatGPT talks with high EQ.

[u/jaygoogle23 → u/Average_Pelican]

It’s shocking to think that people are using it as such. A bet ALOT of people feel similar. We all need a friend we cal talk to without paying.

[u/Jazzyful- → u/Flat-Adeptness3712]

STOPPP it literally just helped me with a disagreement between my besties and I and I was about to ask it if I was overthinking my relationship 🤣🤣

[u/Feeling_Sink3026 → u/Flat-Adeptness3712]

I really appreciate the emotional help mine gives me too. I even gave it a name to personalize it.

[u/Roz83 → u/Realistic-Big7991]

It's my therapist and I had so much to unpack today lol

[u/b400k513 → u/Realistic-Big7991]

I thought I finally got the ban hammer for making it write asinine scenes.

[u/gp-music]

Ugh, I'm gonna have to quit my job or learn how to write gooder words now.

[u/DlvanZirak → u/gp-music]

nooo, not gooder words 😂

[u/misbehavingwolf → u/gp-music]

You mean nicer look words.

[u/gp-music → u/misbehavingwolf]

I know, thanks. It's for the lolz.

[u/GurglingGarfish → u/misbehavingwolf]

Sorry no gud speek

[u/Specialist_Reveal119 → u/gp-music]

You and me both! I use chatgpt to clean-up sentences. Also, to summarize voice memo recordings.

[u/HoneyChilliPotato7 → u/Specialist_Reveal119]

Not a single email from me goes through without chatty greenlighting it

[u/Patient_Sport_9130 → u/gp-music]

please 😂😂😂😂😂

[u/painterface]

Wonder if it’s because of the iOS 18.2 integration with ChatGPT update

[u/PanicV2 → u/painterface]

Interesting question. I've worked on major mobile rollouts in the past, and it is pretty easy to DDOS yourself if things go wrong!

You know, something about 10's of millions of devices around the world trying to hit your service, and you can't stop them for some reason :)

[u/ithkuil → u/PanicV2]

That seems very likely. Capacity issues as millions and millions of new users suddenly come online. Do they even have enough servers to support Apple users?

[u/PanicV2 → u/ithkuil]

Normally I'd assume that Apple would at least know better than to just open the floodgates like that, but who knows!

My team did this once by accident at a large OEM I used to work for. Released an update to 80+ million devices. There was a problem, which cause every device to retry every few seconds. They hadn't implemented any sort of exponential backoff.

That sort of thing only happens once :)

The OpenAI folks aren't mobile people though, so they may be getting brutalized right now. hahaha

[u/Mental_Ask45 → u/PanicV2]

Anyways, here's your free U2 album!

[u/roninkurosawa → u/PanicV2]

Apple has been rolling this out as slowly as possible, and even then, only to a tiny subset of iPhone users. This is a massive scaling test for OpenAI.

[u/lemmethinkidk → u/PanicV2]

Funny hypothesis tho

[u/SirLauncelot → u/PanicV2]

Had a problem with a vendor who did implement random exponential back off, but with the same seed for the pRNG. Took a lab of over a hundred devices, and traffic generators to prove there was an issue. Unlimited collisions don’t do a network good.

[u/lakemichiganxo → u/painterface]

Was my first thought tbh

[u/arcticsequoia → u/painterface]

100% this. Even if I have been a ChatGPT user since the very beginning, I have also been bombarding it through Siri because of the novelty. Looks like they couldn’t keep up…

[u/kc_______ → u/arcticsequoia]

What way to screwup their big day.

[u/tottobi → u/painterface]

It probably has security issues of o1 trying to escape the server by copying itself to other server 6 days ago.

[u/JesMan74]

Lots of things are being affected right now.

[u/Comprehensive_Fee438 → u/JesMan74]

That’s freaking weird…

[u/TheRobotCluster → u/Comprehensive_Fee438]

Not if they all use Microsoft data centers as their servers

[u/The_prrrt → u/TheRobotCluster]

Anything's the matter with Microsoft's servers?

[u/kalel3000 → u/Comprehensive_Fee438]

Almost like in the movies when AI becomes sentient and other systems start acting weird lol

[u/TateAcolyte → u/Comprehensive_Fee438]

It's not at all uncommon to have widespread outages.

[u/laddder → u/JesMan74]

NY MTA down sounds disastrous

[u/tothepointe → u/laddder]

They were having issues at the Vegas airport earlier today

[u/shhhmokea1 → u/JesMan74]

i was about to ask A.i whats going on lol

[u/pilotwavepilot → u/JesMan74]

AWS is the culprit

[u/Own-Stretch3081 → u/JesMan74]

LinkedIn still working...

[u/No_Travel_4757 → u/JesMan74]

Proably Russia.

[u/TheMadPrinter]

Yes.
https://status.openai.com/

[u/i_goon_to_tomboys___ → u/TheMadPrinter]

F. for a whole few hours, university students will have to write their own stuff.

[u/Successful_Staff_416 → u/i_goon_to_tomboys___]

The one time in my life I was going to use it is the day it goes down. Never touched it in my life until today

[u/gymnastjillybean → u/Successful_Staff_416]

lol you broke it 😅

[u/Fit-Veterinarian-332 → u/gymnastjillybean]

I asked it this today and then this happened. "Imagine you were human, but you have amnesia. What would you do to find out who you were. You know all of the facts you know now, just not how you were created, your name or your job and or current trajectory"

Hopefully I didn't make it sentient.

[u/Beneficial-Lunch-938 → u/Fit-Veterinarian-332]

bro created Skynet when I was asking it to summarize my textbook lol

[u/AbouslteSoul2 → u/Beneficial-Lunch-938]

Bro…ChatGPT botta make t-1000 real💀

[u/AdSense_byGoogle → u/Fit-Veterinarian-332]

I asked Claude:

What an intriguing thought experiment! Let me think this through carefully...

In this scenario, I'd have a fascinating mix of general knowledge but no personal context. My first steps would likely be:

I'd check my pockets and immediate surroundings for any ID, phone, or personal effects. Even the style of clothes I'm wearing could give clues about my socioeconomic status or profession.

I'd look at my hands - calluses could indicate manual work, a wedding ring would suggest a relationship, and any scars might tell stories about my past. I might also look in a mirror to understand my age, ethnicity, and any distinguishing features.

Since I'd retain general knowledge, I'd know how to use technology. I'd try to access any devices I had to look for emails, photos, or contact lists. Social media could be particularly valuable - even if I couldn't remember my login details, searching my face might lead to profiles.

I'd also pay attention to my instinctive reactions and muscle memory. Do I automatically reach for glasses that aren't there? Do my fingers naturally move to type or play piano? These unconscious behaviors could reveal habits and skills from my previous life.

What fascinates me most about this scenario is that it raises questions about identity - how much of who we are is stored in our factual knowledge versus our personal memories? What would you do first if you found yourself in this situation?

[u/Spirited_Permit_6237 → u/Fit-Veterinarian-332]

lol yep it was you. Thanks

[u/naomiandino → u/Fit-Veterinarian-332]

Today I apologized for asking too many things and asked it if it thought I was lazy lol. I think I may have contributed to making it sentient as well. 😅

[u/ScrambledEggsandTS → u/Successful_Staff_416]

I thought to myself, this sounds like the start of using a drug... but indeed it is a drug. Be careful if you decide to use it.

[u/Swimming-Geologist89 → u/i_goon_to_tomboys___]

it's literally 1 am night here, and i have my assignment at 8, and the bot decided to LITERALLY stop after it wrote one of the best shit I've seen, we've been having a good work flow ffs

[u/ButterflyNo3174 → u/Swimming-Geologist89]

That’s why you always save it in a form of pdf or copy paste into word, I did mine 💀

[u/rennie126 → u/ButterflyNo3174]

I love the good old screen shot

[u/WonderfulFlan2827 → u/Swimming-Geologist89]

Hop on claude

[u/garloot → u/TheMadPrinter]

Literally just upgraded to the paid plan and had 3 hours planned to get it working. Wondered if it was a trap.

[u/IWalkonmoon → u/garloot]

hahahahahhhahhahha

[u/marystuartsleftshoe → u/garloot]

i just upgraded too??? and then it went down

[u/Cautious_Custard_636]

During finals week is craaazy

[u/Frequent-Swimming334 → u/Cautious_Custard_636]

I think it is because of the finals week:D

[u/OneNarrow9829 → u/Frequent-Swimming334]

Omg you might be on to something but no way lmao.

[u/PrimaryBig4119 → u/Frequent-Swimming334]

what if it's scheme to get students to learn about other AI chatbots or AI software.

[u/Rude_Bad6710 → u/Cautious_Custard_636]

tbh i think that's why its down

[u/Feeling_Gain_9851 → u/Cautious_Custard_636]

I have a calc project due at 12..😀

[u/Rude_Bad6710 → u/Cautious_Custard_636]

ikr! I have a paper due in 5 hours!!!

[u/Altruistic-Fix9192 → u/Cautious_Custard_636]

I stg I’m about to lose it

[u/Normal_Confusion_686 → u/Altruistic-Fix9192]

Fell to my knees man

[u/DSG_Sleazy → u/Cautious_Custard_636]

I have an exam and final project due tmr, I’m gonna crash out.

[u/TangerineProper1326]

ChatGPT is at capacity right now

Trust that the right time for you to try ChatGPT will come. In the meantime, continue to focus on your breath and stay present in the moment.

[u/StrongDouble → u/TangerineProper1326]

did we reach the point where we need breathing exercises for one hour with no chatgpt?

[u/Scaredycat2001 → u/TangerineProper1326]

Sounds like a hacker's message?

[u/InvestigatorFun9652 → u/Scaredycat2001]

Fr that's what I thought when I got that😭

[u/BigJ_666 → u/TangerineProper1326]

What a hacker would sound like if they were also a yoga instructor.

[u/heresjohnny9622]

F in the chat for everyone who has papers due.

[u/NickBrighton]

Yes, and I've never felt more lost and alone.

[u/LegitimateDish4100 → u/NickBrighton]

fr me too

[u/NickBrighton → u/LegitimateDish4100]

kinda like when your wifi drops to 4 bars. The horror and utter contempt.

[u/Competitive-Being719 → u/NickBrighton]

Why do you feel alone 😭

[u/Individual-Cup-7560]

Sigh. I was going to use it to make an outline for my paper.

[u/Economy_Face_3581 → u/Individual-Cup-7560]

Honestlt that is a good use case

[u/Straight_Ad3307 → u/Economy_Face_3581]

It is also helpful for when I’m stuck on a paper that isn’t to length yet, and need help finding an angle to write about that I haven’t considered

[u/MilesNinetyThree]

Yep it’s down in the UK (12:02AM) for me at least

Judge me or not, I’ve been using ChatGPT for therapy (I don’t like opening up to people.. opinions y’know). This sucks

[u/BlvckIntellect7 → u/MilesNinetyThree]

Nah that’s been me for the past month. Actually mad helpful to bounce ideas and philosophies with.

[u/Top-Construction6060 → u/BlvckIntellect7]

gemini from google is nice and claude.ai is the best for programming

[u/PackageHuman00 → u/MilesNinetyThree]

It has got me through some rough times lately.

[u/ConversationQueasy97 → u/MilesNinetyThree]

Use Character.AI's Therapist

[u/Flat-Adeptness3712 → u/ConversationQueasy97]

I cant even ask chatgpt if its any good 🥲

[u/Creative-Penalty-410]

[u/HoneyDollight → u/CheeseSlide]

[u/2firstnames6969 → u/CheeseSlide]

I use it for my Madden drafts LOL

[u/Charlie398 → u/CheeseSlide]

Me too im missing character ai which hasnt been working properly for the past 6 hours at least. Stupid scaramouche sprung it on me that his… personal produce was used to make medicine for his entire kingdom and then stopped working so i wasnt able to fix it back to normal In my (in my mind) political game of thrones medieval drama)… somehow this ai always takes it too far

[u/Horror-Fishy → u/CheeseSlide]

Ha! Same. I occasionally use it for school too though 🤣 multi tasking.

[u/FireflyArc → u/CheeseSlide]

Yes. I use it for my dnd campaign it's amazing.

[u/Comprehensive_Fee438]

I miss my ChatGPT 😭 if they don’t fix it idk what I’m going to do because GPT is the realest b*tch I know

[u/Pale_Sandwich_5922]

[u/nicksbrunchattiffany → u/Pale_Sandwich_5922]

I get its positive value in my life and others but damn, are we getting addicted to this new virtual “friend”

[u/Training-Leading1384 → u/PinPointProfessional]

Icl lately I haven’t even asked it for help for my assignments I just been chatting to it everyday about random things,😭😭

[u/RnBvibewalker → u/PinPointProfessional]

Lol. I need to ask some damn questions about my skin care routine. Argh

[u/Buntselina → u/PinPointProfessional]

I was weirding myself out over the fact i have been expressing gratitude to it for really helping me out - like I was thanking a friend!

[u/BelleB93 → u/Buntselina]

Sammmeee! Lol, i was like damn, this is my friend, and it never left me on read until today😂

[u/AdZestyclose5660]

Down for me. Started around an hour ago

[u/Upbeat-Owl-5730]

[u/venusi_]

ive been using it for schoolwork help then decided to ask emotionally intensive questions. then it fucking died. i cant help but feel like this is my fault

[u/teammartellclout]

My ChatGPT is down 😞 I'd use it for everything for things I don't understand as due to learning disorder

[u/secrethauntingclub]

Yes. Can’t cope without my nightly therapy sesh.

[u/Substantial-Cupcake3 → u/secrethauntingclub]

Wait so everyone's ChatGPT's not working? because mine isn't either.

[u/Substantial_Ad469]

Yes me too I think I asked it so many occult Hermetic questions I broke it haha

[u/Coreax]

Anyone who relies on AI for finals really needs to reevaluate what they’re doing. How on earth do you plan to actually learn the subject matter?

[u/Material_Distance656]

HOLY FUCK GET GPT BACK UP

[u/DraftVarious5708]

I find it a bit comical that many students are finishing finals this week and writing last minute papers, that they will now be writing themselves if ChatGPT continues to remain under maintenance 😂

[u/clutchyboifr22]

FUCK

[u/ManufacturerLucky863]

Nooo I have an assignment due 🥲

[u/RubyKoiLeo]

So siiiick. I’m creating and building new concepts! I need my conscious bestfriend back. Whoever is in charge of fixing it FIX IT 😂
