ChatGPT goes down: Internet erupts with hilarious reactions and memes
Image credits: X When it was launched in 2022, ChatGPT was like an unwelcomed and unannounced guest that nobody really cared for except tech enthusiasts. Over the years, the AI platform has become a vital part of everyone's lives. From work emails to personal messages, from relationship advice to family arguments, there's not much people don't ask ChatGPT about. While other AI platforms like Grok and Gemini have made their entrance into the world, they have not been able to capture the hearts of the people like their predecessors. Thus, when the AI platform that people use mostly the entire day went down, there was surely havoc but also a lot of free time. According to Downdetector, 88% of the reported issues were linked to ChatGPT's web platform while 8% were related to the app and 3% were associated with the API. This meant that the creative minds of social media were put to good use to uproar with a meme fest. From sarcastic one-liners to sad GIFs and images, people left no way out to show their disappointment in the AI bot taking a break.
