There’s currently word on the reason behind this outage. But, given that these occurrences are common, we expect the ChatGPT website to start working normally soon. When I tried accessing it, it did get back online but that was for a minute.
We will keep you posted once we get an update on this situation, so, stay tuned to this space. Meanwhile, you can take help of Gemini, Perplexity, and AI chatbots to solve your queries.
