ChatGPT down for users globally, OpenAI says 'working to roll out a fix'

Microsoft-backed OpenAI's popular chatbot ChatGPT is experiencing a global outage, affecting users across the world from accessing the popular chatbot. The outage has not only affected ChatGPT, but also OpenAI's API and Sora video generator platforms. Users have reported widespread disruption to OpenAI services, including several users who pay for an enhanced or 'premium' service via subscription and businesses who rely on the API platform for their Artificial Intelligence projects. At the time, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tweeted that ChatGPT had been down for 30 minutes, adding a frown emoji and saying, "We are much, much better at reliability than we used to be, but clearly more work in front of us."
