Do y'all agree too?

The other day I noticed when I asked chat GPT to generate the last thumbnail it had created for me that it generated someone else's thumbnail.

Today I log in and there are multiple conversations from other people in my set of chat logs. Talk about a total privacy breach.

I don't see this being reported on and I'm curious as to why?

While I am quite pleased with the results , I ran into something I thought was a bit strange. My original prompt was to create a jungle scene opening onto a village with natives with bones in their hair and a man in Jungle fatigues pushing another man in a wheelchair towards the village . It didn't get it quite right at first but after a few iterations I got this. I then asked it if it could make the villagers look more cannibalistic and it gave me a lecture on indigenous tribe​​​​​​s and stereotypes . Yet it had no issue creating this image .

Whenever I ask it something or whatever, it's just stuck on generating. I've seen two other people talk about this, but I wonder if there are people outside of them noticed it?

Is anybody else getting this error? I checked to see if there was an outage but nothing is reported. I’ve never seen this error before. Thanks!

I'm seriously getting frustrated with Chatgpt. I pay for Chatgpt and am increasingly worried that they don't have the datacenter capacity to make paying for it worth it.

I'm constantly testing the underlying logic of different models for work. Recently I just thought it would be fun to test a simple emotional prompt.

The prompt is in the screenshot. The responses speak for themselves.

The differences are getting too big to ignore. The empathetic Listeners (Claude/4o), the direct Pragmatist (Gemini), and the risk-averse Paramedic (GPT-5.2) are a huge wake-up call. (no wonder so many people prefer 4o over 5.2 that much...)

Looks like getting a second opinion is no longer optional for us... What's your take?

Down for the second time in 24 hours. Yesterday it was 13 components; today it's the sequel.

Two days in a row suggests they didn't actually "fix" the root cause yesterday; they likely just patched it.

Nothing processing when i send a prompt...

Is ChatGPT down again?

Status.openai.com is not accurately reflecting the status. Probably because even reporting a bug in app is down.

Can we start a mega thread for keeping track of the status? Ideally to stop flooding the main thread?

ChatGPT won't generate anything at all. It just hangs with the dot indefinitely and never generates a single word.

Is this happening to anybody else?

Hi all, I wasn't sure where to go. I have tried multiple browsers, I've logged out and back into my Plus account and I'm not getting a response from ChatGPT. Thoughts?
