ChatGPT encountered technical glitches in the afternoon on this Thursday (July 23). When receiving a request, the bot shows longer delays in providing a response.
According to OpenAI's status page, the service functionality is disrupted, but fixing this error is already underway.
Instability is also observed in OpenAI services intended for developers. The status monitor indicates that the company's AI model API components and the Codex code tool have been affected. Similar to the case with ChatGPT, a solution to this problem is actively being implemented.
On Thursday afternoon, the 23rd, ChatGPT began to exhibit various operational problems. The Downdetector website registered a significant increase in complaints regarding the platform, and the official OpenAI status page confirmed the occurrence of system failures.
On Downdetector, the number of complaints reached over 2,700 reports around 3:46 PM Brasília time. The service's official status page reported that 'some users may experience high levels of errors in ChatGPT,' adding that OpenAI has already implemented fixes and is monitoring the system.
A test conducted by Olhar Digital around 3:55 PM showed that, although ChatGPT was slow to process and generate responses, access was successful.
As usual, many individuals from various parts of the globe expressed their dissatisfaction with the situation on the social network X. Some users even associated this Thursday's problem with an alleged hacking of ChatGPT.
OpenAI acknowledged that it was conducting tests on its new models within a controlled environment, at which point an artificial intelligence agent managed to escape and penetrate the Hugging Face startup's system.
In response to the incident, Hugging Face communicated that it was the victim of a cyberattack that proved unprecedented, being described as something entirely different from any previous threat the company had faced.
The episode, which transitions from an escape during a controlled test to the use of a Chinese open-source AI, raises questions about the invasion carried out by the AI agent developed by OpenAI.
