ChatGPT Experiences Global Outage, Conversations Disappear

ChatGPT went down worldwide on December 2, 2025, causing major disruptions for users who rely on the AI chatbot. Many encountered error messages such as “something seems to have gone wrong” and “There was an error generating a response,” while some users reported that their previous conversations had disappeared entirely. Over 30,000 users were affected according to outage monitoring reports. OpenAI confirmed the problem, acknowledging elevated error rates across its services and stating that a fix was in progress. Partial service was restored later that day, though performance remained slow for many users. This outage highlights how dependent people have become on cloud-based AI platforms and how service interruptions can impact users globally.
