ChatGPT seems to be acting a bit strange lately.
Some users were left scratching their heads as OpenAI's chatbot started giving nonsensical responses to their queries on Tuesday. Sean McGuire, a senior associate at Gensler, a global architecture firm, even shared screenshots on X of ChatGPT responding to him in a mix of Spanish and English, which he referred to as "Spanglish."
"Sometimes, in the creative process of keeping the intertwined Spanglish vibrant, the cogs en la tecla might get a bit whimsical. Muchas gracias for your understanding, y I’ll ensure we’re being as crystal clear como l’eau from now on," ChatGPT wrote.
The situation took a turn for the worse when ChatGPT started spouting even more nonsense: "Would it glad your clicklies to grape-turn-tooth over a mind-ocean jello type?" It then went on to reference jazz pianist Bill Evans before getting stuck in a loop, repeating the phrase "Happy listening!" endlessly.
Subsequent updates stated that the issue had been identified and was under monitoring. By Wednesday afternoon, another update assured users that all systems were back to normal.
This incident is undoubtedly embarrassing for OpenAI, a company once hailed as a pioneer in the artificial intelligence field. With a substantial investment from Microsoft and businesses paying for access to its advanced AI, OpenAI is facing scrutiny over ChatGPT's recent blunders.
OpenAI has yet to comment on the matter, leaving users and observers to speculate about the cause of the problem.
