ChatGPT temporarily stripped off of web access (help.openai.com)

Interesting action as ChatGPT was found to pull full web articles upon request.

I wonder if this kind of full shut off of a feature stays to be a reasonable approach, since soon there can be rival AIs from dictatorships. Shutting off would give flow to those problematic implementations.

That said, IP violation is a serious problem given that they may face court cases.

Another interesting thing is, what would they do with short blogs that are almost entirely code snippets, which ChatGPT tend to copy & paste?

I think it should include the sources used in the answer, as a link to the original

So, I opened up ChatGPT today, it showed the announcement on the disabled function and this was their source. Weird but true.

Probably nothing, since small blogs aren't big enough to sue them while news sites are.

Probably. EU loves to intervene these days, so I also see some uncertainty.

ChatGPT will need to develop by improving security through accidents, lawsuits, and compensation payments, in the same way that automobiles and airplanes have developed while paying huge amounts of compensation after major accidents and lawsuits.

Wait, it had web access? How the hell did I miss it? I’m mostly using their app, was it a feature there, or was it something web-only?

[–] bedrooms@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You certainly don't know about plugins, do you?

I also had the iOS app. I believe the web access was indeed web-app-only.

[–] fearout@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure I do. How is this relevant though? I'm asking about out-of-the-box functionality.

[–] bedrooms@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ah, I see. Never mind. On the web interface you would have enabled web access just like you enabled plugins.

It was probably hitting reddit a lot, which has now disabled their api
