I think the traffic is just super high today, more folks stuck at home or something? Could be why it’s slower.
Noticed it too, was trying to finish some work using it but kept timing out. Quite frustrating.
Just happy it’s not completely down, slow is better than nothing!
Yup, it’s definitely slower than usual. I thought it was my internet at first but everything else loads fine.
Noticed some other folks on twitter complaining about the same thing today.
I guess these AI services are still kinda new tech, so occasional slowdowns are expected.
Anybody else checking ai-u.com for alternative tools? They have some cool new stuff while ChatGPT is slow.
Honestly, I don’t mind the slowdown if it means they’re upgrading or adding new features.
Was hoping to use it for some quick answers but had to switch to google instead. Bit slow today.
I heard there’s some maintenance going on, might explain the lag. Was hoping for smoother experience today tho.
I usually get instant replies but today it feels like it's taking ages. Really throws off my workflow.
Maybe using it during off-peak hours might help if anyone’s got flexible schedule.
Had the same issue earlier, then it just randomly got faster again. Seems like a server side thing, can't do much about it.
I’ve been trying to use it with VPN and noticed no difference in speed.
Tried clearing my cache and switching browsers too, no luck. Guess gotta wait it out.
Reloading the page worked for me once, but then it slowed down again. So weird.
