ChatGPT was down for several users globally on Tuesday (June 4)with OpenAI saying a fix had been implemented and it was monitoring the results. A report by TechRadar said that the first reports of user experiencing ChatGPT hit downdetector at 12 pm IST (2.30 am ET). However, according to OpenAI,the outage has officially lasted just over two hours now.

Several users on X complained about the outage. "Chat GPT is down, I'm not doing any actual thinking, I refuse. I'll just sit here until it becomes available again," X user Bitcoin Lebowski said.

"ChatGPT is down. What if it never comes back and we have to use our own brains to write stuff again?," another user by the name of Tokyo Todd wrote on the microblogging site.

"How am I supposed to get any work done with ChatGPT being down?," a user Dorian Develops said in a post.

Tuesday's outage came days after the privacy watchdog of the European Union (EU) said that OpenAI'sefforts to produce less factually false output from itsChatGPTchatbot were not enough to ensure full compliance with EU data rules.

"Although the measures taken in order to comply with the transparency principle are beneficial to avoid misinterpretation of the output ofChatGPT, they are not sufficient to comply with the data accuracy principle," the taskforce said in a report released on May 25.

"In addition, the outputs provided byChatGPTare likely to be taken as factually accurate by end users, including information relating to individuals, regardless of their actual accuracy," the taskforce added.
