ChatGPT down for many in the US and UK; OpenAI working on a fix

AI chatbot ChatGPT is down for many users in the US and the UK, with a variety of errors being reported – including gateway errors, login failures, and chats not loading …

BBC News initially reported the outage in the UK.

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”.

However, others have since said that it is affecting many US users too.

OpenAI says it knows the reason for the problem, and is working on a fix.

We have identified the root cause of this issue, and are currently working to implement a fix.
