Have you noticed that ChatGPT is a little less chatty this morning? OpenAI is experiencing a widespread outage Tuesday that's affecting its ChatGPT AI chatbot service, as well as its Sora tool for AI-generated videos.

Fire up ChatGPT and submit any request at the prompt. In return, the AI will tell you that there's an error in the message stream or that something seems to have gone wrong. The trouble is the same whether you use the ChatGPT website, the Windows or Mac app, or the iOS or Android app.

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, is an artificial intelligence chatbot that can engage in human-like conversations and generate various types of content, including code, articles, and images. Some of ChatGPT's key features and capabilities include text gneeration, conversational AI, answering questions, summarization and brainstorming.
