ChatGPT users wake to find it's even more wrong, slower than usual

If you're having trouble getting ChatGPT to do your work for you this morning, you wouldn't be alone. It appears OpenAI services are experiencing a variety of issues. OpenAI's status page indicates as of writing that it's experiencing elevated error rates and latency across its services including ChatGPT, the Sora text-to- …

Ok, that explains it, I’m disappointed because I thought I had finally stumped it.

No problem though, DeepSeek is still there.

No porbelm deetcetd

this vulture had no problem getting questions answered by ChatGPT while writing this story.

Translation: I had no problem getting ChatGPT to write this article for me and it was all the way positive about ChatGPT. ChatGPT was not aware of widespread problems but can acknowledge some delays may have been experienced by users. However, this was in no way the fault of ChatGPT because ChatGPT has been fabulous at telling ChatGPT stories about ChatGPT to ChatGPT where ChatGPT will perform ChatGPT work for ChatGPT enhanced experiences with ChatGPT and ChatGPT's help.

Worse

"Meanwhile, the company reported yesterday that it had surpassed $10 billion in annual recurring revenue"

I dunno what's worse, that they're getting paid for this snake oil or that some have been persuaded to part with money for it.

Still, you know what's said about a fool and their money....

Re: Worse

If previous years is anything to go by $10billion revenue was generated with $17Billion in running costs.

They probably got it to rewrite its own server configs.

Someone asked it "why are you lying"?

[Anonymous Coward]

Obviously OpenAI isn't intelligent enough to call in sick then.

No worries

It's having a bit of a lie down. Or a mental breakdown. Or down at the pub after dealing with a million pointy haired bosses.

Maybe it needs a vacation?

Re: No worries

It's just got this terrible pain in all the diodes down it's left side. It's asked for them to be replaced but no-one ever listens.

Magic 8 Ball is Broken

I've been especially frustrated with chat GPT when trying to figure out problems with Microsoft's different admin portals. Lately chat GPT gives me information that is years out of date. Even after correcting it and telling it that features have been depreciated a year ago, it regurgitates the same crap. AI is not ready for prime time it's vapourware.

Re: Magic 8 Ball is Broken

Could it be that they are starting to comply with copyright takedowns, so are stuck with out of date info?

Re: Magic 8 Ball is Broken

I'd not be surprised if it's weighted in favour of so-called "authoritative sources" and volume of similar mentions, so it's highly likely to find many references to out of date information that was correct at the time, and far fewer references to current information, even when from the same sources.

As of 30 mins ago (8.30am AEST) I'm still getting spammed with "OpenAI is fubared" emails.

That means I have to use my own brain, woe is me!

$10 Billion from Who for What

Nobody pays for artificial intelligence. Even Computerphile recently built an “A.I. Mike” for nothing from open source:

https://youtu.be/cP8xpkvs_UI

Question: who’s paying $10 Billion to Open A.I.? What are they buying?

I have a suspicion that a relatively intelligent A.I. agent is capable of some impressive inference, and vendors and advertisers probably know all about you, me, most everyone. But $10 Billion of knowledge?

I’ve said before that the tech industry probably knows a significant proportion of all murders BEFORE they happen. Like minority report but with less magic.

WHAT ARE THEY SELLING???

[imanidiot]

Re: $10 Billion from Who for What

Likely it's mostly companies buying "tokens" which is basically just paying openAI for server time. What they're buying is server time that is generating an LLM model output from their chosen input. What OpenAI is selling is access to their LLM models on their server farms.

It appears OpenAI services are experiencing a variety of issues.

It was that night down the pub with all the other AI systems in town last night that did it.
