ChatGPT, OpenAI's popular AI chatbot, is experiencing a significant global outage, preventing users from logging in, creating new accounts, or accessing existing conversations. The disruption began around 8 PM ET on Wednesday, August 19, impacting users across various regions, including the United States and Europe.

Approximately 14 minutes after the incident began, OpenAI updated its status page to indicate that the problem had been identified and was still ongoing. Tests conducted by various users continue to show persistent access issues.
