ChatGPT Is Too Popular for Its Own Good

It may be too popular for its own good. The chatbot crashed several times over the past week due to so many people flocking to it. Openai, the company behind the bot, is trying to figure out how to handle the influx of new users as it scales up.

I noticed the platform's issues when I was in the middle of a chat. After logging out of my account, I was greeted with a message that said, "We're experiencing extremely high demand." As we scale our systems, please keep an eye on us.

The message was similar to this.

Many would-be users complained that they hadn't been given a chance to try out the new service before it crashed The verified user quipped, "#chatGPT is down." I will stop using it so I can try it out. They were worried that they wouldn't be able to get their work done because they had been using the platform.

The downtime didn't last long but it was resurrected in a matter of hours and people were once again using it to waste time and entertain themselves. Traveling to the site on Monday morning, users were faced with a new banner with a cute little poem that was probably written by the artificial intelligence program.

Users reported problems with it for at least eight hours after it went down, according to Down for Everyone or Just Me. Gizmodo reached out to Openai for comment on the crashes and will update the story if they reply.

The platform has become very popular in a very short period of time. It took five days for the site to reach over one million users. The user base of the media has grown since then. The novelty and entertainment value of a chatbot that can write poems, do your homework, or answer questions is something that many people find appealing.

For a program that is still in its infancy, how will it work once it has launched as a full product? How many people would like to use this thing? We don't know how long it will be until we see what the future holds.

Not to make matters worse, but if you want to get in on the action, you can go to Openai's website. When it is working, the program is actually something else.
