Several users took to social media sites on Thursday to complain that artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot ChatGPT is down. Users on social media site X complained that they were not able to access the site.

Journalist Mario Nawfal also tweeted that the site is down. “OpenAI is currently in the thick of an unresolved incident with ChatGPT and the API experiencing higher than usual error rates," he said in a post on X, citing OpenAI, the tech company that created ChatGPT.

At the time of writing this report, ChatGPT was showing 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error.

Netizens also shared memes over the site’s downtime issues, with many asking other users if they are flocking to sites like X to see if ChatGPT is down for everyone.

Several people also hilariously quipped that they now have to “think" because ChatGPT is down.

ChatGPT has been increasingly used and accepted by academics, students, coders, journalists, content creators and the general public. Many even use it for daily work and for official purposes, like writing emails and preparing notes.
