Major disruption hit AI users worldwide today. ChatGPT went dark for thousands of people as OpenAI's infrastructure experienced a massive global outage. Users across multiple regions reported being unable to access the service, with error messages flooding social media. The exact cause remains unclear, but the scale suggests a significant backend issue. For an industry increasingly dependent on AI tools, this blackout serves as a stark reminder of centralized service vulnerabilities. OpenAI has yet to provide a detailed timeline for full restoration.

Again and again it crashed, this time OpenAI really needs to reflect on the issue of Decentralization. --- The ChatGPT downtime was bound to happen sooner or later, I bet it will happen again next month. --- So now you understand why we need to support Decentralization, right... --- I can't accept this, I was in the middle of writing and suddenly lost the internet, wasting several hours of work. --- That's how centralized service works, relying on it is just asking for trouble.

ChatGPT is down again, this time it's a global outage... Indeed, we can't rely too much on a single company.

Ngl, I really can't hold it anymore, centralized services are a ticking time bomb. --- Once again reminding us that we shouldn't put all our eggs in one basket. --- ChatGPT crashed for half a day without any explanation, this transparency is indeed disappointing. --- Wait, is the scale this large this time? Quickly back up important things. --- Those who rely on this thing for work every day must be feeling terrible today... --- When will the backend crashes be truly resolved? It's always like this. --- When will distributed solutions become popular? I've had enough of this feeling of being choked. --- So, the decentralization of Web3 is serious, and OpenAI has personally demonstrated a negative example this time.

Oh no, ChatGPT is down again, this time globally, and my work is directly interrupted. The drawbacks of centralized systems are really showing; how can it crash so easily? OpenAI needs to fix this quickly; we can't wait any longer. It feels like AI services have been increasingly unstable lately; who would dare to rely entirely on it? If this were in a production environment, it would be so awkward; I'd have to write a report to explain.
