Last week OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT received a new feature that integrated Bing, allowing ChatGPT Plus users to access information beyond September 2021 (where ChatGPT’s training data ends). However, soon after integrating this new feature into the chatbot, OpenAI discovered that there are instances where it can help users circumvent paywalls on certain websites. Therefore, OpenAI is temporarily disabling the feature.
“Starting from July 3, 2023, we have deactivated the Browse with Bing feature out of caution while we address this to do right by content creators. We are working to reintroduce the beta version quickly and appreciate your understanding,” OpenAI writes.”
