AI down? ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and other AI platforms suffer system outage
What has happened to all the AI platforms? An unknown glitch has affected the activity of most of the chatbots based on generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) on Tuesday, led by OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini.
Although they have not yet reached the status of critical services such as a search engine, email or an instant messaging application, the scope of use of AI platforms is on a steady rise, for private use, work or studies.
However, according to user reports and Calcalist testing, all the popular services are suffering from a system outage on Tuesday whose cause is unknown. As of the time of writing, it is not possible to use the popular ChatGPT and Gemini. ChatGPT displays a mostly blank chat screen, except for the prompt input line, which is non-functional. Gemini displays an error message, but works intermittently.
Smaller chatbots like Perplexity and Claude are also down or only working intermittently, showing an error message.
At this stage, it is not clear the source of the malfunction and whether there is a connection between the disruptions in the various services or whether it is a coincidence.
