New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….

Original story (published on December 9, 2022) follows:

AI is the buzzword right now, and some believe it has limitless potential and will have an influence on our world equal to the industrial revolution.

OpenAI has trained a model called ChatGPT to communicate with people in a conversational manner. ChatGPT can respond to follow-up questions, confess mistakes, and even reject inappropriate requests.

It has the potential to transform the way the search engine works in the future as it can solve complex questions and even do difficult tasks like drafting a contract for users.

OpenAI ChatGPT users stuck in login loop or get internal server error

However, several OpenAI ChatGPT users are either trapped in an endless login loop or are receiving an internal server error (1,2,3,4,5).

Users have an OpenAI account and can use it to log into Playground for OpenAI and DaVinci graphic AI. However, when users try to access OpenAI ChatGPT, they are stuck in a loop.

The problem appears to arise when one attempts to log into their account. They are routed back to the login page after entering their credentials and clicking the login button.

This occurs even after several attempts and using multiple accounts from various devices, including mobile.

Okay bro I can’t login to use ChatGPT what’s going on @OpenAI it tells me to login signs in but brings me straight back to the login page

So ChatGPT is overloaded and not accepting my login. Given all the buzz, I’m impressed that the free mode lasted this long. Obviously, some kind of paid access model is next. Just hope it’s one I can afford.

In addition to login problems, some are seeing an error message when they ask OpenAI ChatGPT a question (1,2,3,4,5,6).

Users see an ‘Internal server error’ prompt as a response to their query after a few interactions, or sometimes at the start of the conversation.

Potential workaround

Fortunately, we have come across a potential workaround that could fix the login loop issue. All you have to do now is check your email because OpenAI has sent you one, and then verify your account:

If you get a #ChatGPT login error then check your email. OpenAI sent an email and I had to click on the link to verify my account. This should solve the login loop error.

We hope OpenAI soon patches these problems. When they do, we will be updating this space to reflect the same so stay tuned.
