OpenAI Temporarily Pulled Off ChatGPT to Fix Bugs

OpenAI temporarily shut down its popular ChatGPT service on Monday morning after reports of a bug that allowed some users to see the titles of other users’ chat histories.
The titles were visible in the user-history sidebar that typically appears on the left side of the ChatGPT webpage, an OpenAI spokesperson told Bloomberg.
OpenAI temporarily disabled the chatbot after the reports, the spokesperson said. The substance of the other users’ conversations was not visible. The spokesperson said a bug in an unnamed open-source software caused the problem.

OpenAI is still investigating the precise cause.
ChatGPT came back online Monday night. However, users’ chat histories remained missing as of late Monday night Pacific time.
On Monday night, the spokesperson stated: “ChatGPT is now back online, and we are working to bring chat history back online as well.”
OpenAI grabbed attention via its chatbot ChatGPT, proficient at answering questions and writing essays and poems, and image generator Dall-E 2, which turns language prompts into novel images.
In January, Microsoft Corp MSFT inked a new multiyear, $10 billion investment with OpenAI. The deal followed its previous investments in 2019 and 2021.
