I'm curious about whether it's possible to crash an AI system, like ChatGPT, by flooding it with the same request. Specifically, what if everyone online asked it to calculate the number of possible outcomes in the game of Solitaire at the same time? Would this overload its systems and cause a failure? I know it's a bit of a silly question, but it's a thought that crossed my mind, and I would love to understand whether there's any truth to it.

Nope! That's not how AI operates. Even if tons of requests come in, they’re all handled separately. If a calculation is impossible, the AI just returns an error message rather than overheating or crashing. It’s designed that way for reasons just like this.
Right? It’s not like we can just overwhelm it with questions and expect it to malfunction!
