OpenAI outage today: ChatGPT users are back to wondering if the AI tool is offline owing to various issues such as failed responses, loading errors, login errors and even image generation errors. It is a bit complicated.
The official website of OpenAI has confirmed on its status page that the systems are fully operational, but there are some instances of outages as indicated by outage monitors and user complaints.
The difference lies in the fact that a system may be up and running for everyone else but not for some few.
