CHATGPT has been hit by an outage with many users reporting issues assessing the service just as they start work.
Owners OpenAI have announced an update on the situation after experts at the company launched an investigation.

The hugely popular chat bot is said to attract some 700 million weekly active users globally, offering help with everything from work reports to holiday planning.
More than a thousand complaints were picked up by Down Detector on Wednesday morning.
This latest problem appears to stop ChatGPT from responding to users whenever they type a prompt.
“Chatgpt is not responding to conversations!” one user wrote on X.
“Never experienced this before…”
Another joked: “I’m so sad. My work partner is down.”
It’s not clear whether the problem is limited to some users or widespread at the moment.
However, tests run by The Sun show ChatGPT working despite reports continuing to come in on social media, suggesting it may be a limited issue.
OpenAI updated users after launching an investigation.
“ChatGPT Not Displaying Responses,” it reads.
“We have identified the root cause and are working to resolve it.”
How to check if ChatGPT is down
It can be hard to tell if an online service outage is only impacting you or if it’s something much bigger.
Usually social media is a good way to check, as others will no doubt complain about the same thing.
ChatGPT’s owners OpenAI have a service status page you can check too.
The website is status.openai.com.
