I've tried clearing cache and switching browsers but sometimes the lag stays no matter what.
I wish there was a status page that clearly shows when the servers are busy or down.
Could it also be maintenance or updates causing temporary slowdowns? Happened to me a few times.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools, sometimes it's better to try alternatives if one is laggy.
Honestly, sometimes it's just the tech limitations of these AI models, they require tons of compute power.
Sometimes I think the lag is kinda exaggerated by people's impatience, but yeah it defs happens.
Sometimes my internet feels fine but the chatbot still lags. Could be on their end mostly.
Yeah, I've seen it happen mostly during peak hours. Servers might be getting overloaded or something.
I also wonder if it's the complexity of the request that slows it down, like longer or more detailed questions.
I saw that enabling or disabling certain settings in the app can sometimes improve response times.
