On June 4, a second major outage hit OpenAI’s ChatGPT, leading to widespread disruptions for users and a surge of humorous reactions on social media. The outage left many grappling with the absence of their AI-powered writing assistant, causing a humorous frenzy online.

As ChatGPT faced technical difficulties for the second time on June 4, users expressed frustration and amusement in equal measure. The outage, described as a “major outage” by OpenAI, left users unable to access ChatGPT’s services, prompting a flood of memes and humorous comments on social media platforms.

The outage occurred in two waves, with the first reported around 2:30 am ET, followed by a second outage later in the day. This double hit caused widespread disruptions, not just for ChatGPT users but also for other AI assistants like Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity, all experiencing similar issues.

The online response was swift and comedic, with users taking to Twitter and other platforms to share their woes and humorous takes on the situation. Memes and jokes about the “middle ages” of writing without AI assistance flooded social media feeds, reflecting the reliance of many on these AI tools for their work.

Benjamin De Kraker, a full-stack developer, expressed surprise at multiple AI services being down simultaneously, highlighting the impact of the outage on users across different platforms. Others, like user @netcapgirl, expressed disappointment and humor simultaneously, capturing the mixed emotions of the outage’s impact.

Some users reflected on the potential consequences of over-reliance on AI services, joking about having to use their own brains to write again or experiencing writer’s block due to the outage. The humorous responses provided a light-hearted perspective on the challenges faced by users during the outage.
