Widespread Disruption
The outage affected users in various ways. Some reported being unable to generate responses at all, with the “Enter” button unresponsive on the platform. Others encountered difficulties accessing the ChatGPT website and app entirely. Downdetector data suggests over 80% of users faced issues, with website access problems affecting roughly 14% and app functionality impacting around 12%.
Limited Functionality
Users who could access the platform described frustrations in using it. While they could type questions into the chat box, the inability to submit queries through the unresponsive “Enter” button rendered the service unusable. Additionally, some users reported being unable to access their previous chat history on the website.

OpenAI Investigation
There is no official confirmation from OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, regarding the cause of the outage. However, users on social media platforms reported seeing an “Internal Server Error” message on the ChatGPT website, suggesting a potential server-side issue. OpenAI has not yet issued a public statement, but it’s likely they are investigating the cause of the disruption and working on a fix.
Impact on Users
ChatGPT has become a popular tool for various purposes, including generating creative text formats, answering questions in an informative way, and engaging in conversations. The outage caused inconvenience for users who rely on ChatGPT for these tasks.
No ETA for Resolution
As of this writing (Tuesday, June 4, 2024, 2:30 PM IST), there is no estimated time for when ChatGPT will be fully functional again. Users are advised to monitor social media channels or the OpenAI website for updates on the situation.
Alternative AI Chatbots
While ChatGPT is down, users seeking similar functionality can explore alternative AI chatbots. Some options include Bard (from Google AI), Jarvis (from Jarvis.ai), and Mitsuku (from Rollo Carpenter). It’s important to note that each chatbot has its own strengths and weaknesses, so users may need to experiment to find one that best suits their needs.
