Chat GPT is useless this week. Anyone else having issues?

[Mont Blanc]

I use Chat GPT once or twice per week for architectural/landscaping reasons. I upload photos and tell it to add a house to a plot, or restyle a house, or add certain landscaping to a garden etc, but it is absolutely useless this week, and I haven't managed to get anything from it at all, despite leaving the desktop website open for hours following a request, and even trying the same on my phone app.

Nothing. Just the 'Our servers are under heavy load and working on it' type holding pattern.

Sometimes it has come back with a blank/missing picture and when I have replied saying there is nothing there, it apologises and says it will 'try again' and then fails to do anything.

Is it just massively overloaded these days?

Just tried creating an image, took about 1 minute

Here's my very important image that Chat GPT made an hour ago in quick order.

An excellent use of bandwidth

This morning I asked it to make a collage of Angela Rayner pictures. It told me it couldn’t do it

It's been playing slow for me for a while but I need to log in on the pc and check my memory usage on it as if it's full I think it throttles and limits voice and whatnot

I have now installed Co-Pilot app via my Microsoft account, and I have to say I'm impressed so far. The images are good, the feedback it gives you as to what you have asked for is really useful, and it seems fairly quick.

More impressed with Co-Pilot than with GPT at this moment.

I'm a researcher and analyst - ChatGPT and alike have changed my work significantly. Use it for 2-3 hours a day sometimes - great for collecting background information, summarising huge documents, finding comparable content etc.

I've seen a few issues where some tools are not available for short periods of time over the last few weeks.
I've a paid account - and sometimes deep research has not been available for a few hours that day, but it gets queued and then completes later (app notifies you when complete.)

Tried CoPilot as we have it through work - too many occasions where it does something wrong - none of them are perfect - i'd say i trust them 80% of the time overall, but CoPilot for me and my work made more mistakes than CGPT.
