Users report persistent "Setup failed" error when creating new ChatGPT Dots

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Users are reporting issues with creating new ChatGPT Dots after deleting an existing one. The creation process fails immediately with a "Setup failed" error, and this problem has persisted for over 20 hours for some users. Attempts to resolve the issue through different browsers, incognito mode, or the desktop app have been unsuccessful, leading to speculation that deleting a Dot may leave an account in a broken state or indicate a bug on OpenAI's end.
