ChatGPT, the popular AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, shocked users on Tuesday night with unexpected responses. The unusual behavior continued into Wednesday morning, with users sharing screenshots of nonsensical replies from the AI on social media platforms like Reddit and X.
OpenAI admitted to the issue and assured users that they are actively investigating reports of the unexpected responses. Some users reported receiving a mix of languages, emojis, and repetitive phrases from ChatGPT. One user even shared a video of the AI writing a lengthy, manic essay in response to a simple question.
Despite users reaching out for comments, OpenAI has yet to provide any explanation for the bug. The cause of the issue remains unclear, but it appears to be different from typical outages that ChatGPT has experienced in the past.
While some users, like those at Gizmodo, did not experience any problems with ChatGPT, complaints from others are still flooding in. The problem was still active on OpenAI’s status page as of 8:45 a.m. EST on Wednesday.
As users await a resolution from OpenAI, many are left baffled by the unexpected behavior of ChatGPT. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story on ‘The Puck Drop’.
