OpenAI has since addressed the issue, attributing it to a technical glitch rather than a new feature. According to user reports on Reddit, ChatGPT appeared to initiate conversations on topics ranging from high school experiences to health symptoms.

In a recent event ChatGPT had started a conversation, as said by a Reddit user. According to @SentuBill (the Reddit user), he was being texted first by ChatGPT. However, things have taken a different turn now. OpenAI says that this was a ‘glitch’ and not an ‘update’.

ChatGPT suffered an outage earlier today. The company has applied a fix and things are getting back to normal.
