While difficulties accessing ChatGPT are common, with users frequently being asked to wait when the service is at capacity. But, this time around most of the premium users were also kicked out of their accounts and their accounts were replaced with free ones. The latest outage comes over the increasing concerns that ChatGPT could destroy many jobs and other industries.
Conversion to ChatGPT-4 Module
The company has recently announced ChatGPT-4 Module which is even better than the existing model and will allow users to do creative things like write marketing copy, a screenplay, dialogues, a script, and more. With the help of this module, users would also be able to find answers to their more complicated questions. Moreover, GPT-4 can analyze the contents of an image and connect that information with a written question.
