Ammon News - CHATGPT has been hit by an outage with many users reporting issues assessing the service just as they start work.

The hugely popular chat bot is said to attract some 700 million weekly active users globally, offering help with everything from work reports to holiday planning.

More than a thousand complaints were picked up by Down Detector on Wednesday morning.

This latest problem appears to stop ChatGPT from responding to users whenever they type a prompt.

"Chatgpt is not responding to conversations!" one user wrote on X.

It's not clear whether the problem is limited to some users or widespread at the moment.

However, tests run by The Sun show ChatGPT working despite reports continuing to come in on social media, suggesting it may be a limited issue.

ChatGPT's service status page has also updated to show that a problem has been detected.
