Fixing a ChatGPT network error
Here are the steps to fix a ChatGPT network error:
- Limit the output from ChatGPT by giving it simpler questions, breaking your question into smaller parts or give it a character limit for the answer.
- Using a VPN can help you evade the queue, if your area is experiencing high levels of traffic, by hiding your IP address.
- Check for internet issues, because having an unstable connection on your end can cause a network error.
- Try a different browser.
- Simply try the whole thing again. Waiting for the traffic to die down or server issues to be fixed can often do the trick – with very little effort on your part.
ChatGPT explained
Developed by OpenAI, ChatGPT is an advanced chatbot that was released in November 2022.
It can generate responses in natural language to prompts in seconds, including writing essays, poems, and complex code.
Most recently, OpenAI released GPT-4, which accepts both image and text inputs to emit text outputs – unlike ChatGPT 3.
This means you can show a photo of something to GPT-4, and the chatbot can describe the scene and even predict what could happen next.
