! Something went wrong. If this issue persists please contact us through our help center at help.openai.com

If the developers for the front-end of ChatGPT page were more competent, instead of the vague and annoying “Something went wrong” message, which is useless, they would fetch and parse the error that is received from the back end. Mine is:

Unable to load site

Please try again later. If you are using a VPN, try turning it off. Check the status page for information on outages.

It makes me frustrated when developers decide to throw such generic error messages.


Side note, shame on whose in charge of error messages generated in Cloudflare’s end. If you detect that I’m on a VPN and decide to ban it, what use is there to say “try again later”? It’s not like the IP address of my VPN would change on its own. I feel insulted when the infrastructure decides to deny service, then adds salt to the injury by telling the user to “try again”.
