I don’t think it actually can browse the web. It’s obviously been trained with an extensive web-sourced corpus.
It seems that the developers have placed guardrails around web-search-like queries not because ChatGPT can’t answer them, but because they want to discourage using it that way for—I’d guess because they want to direct usage towards the conversational / contextual aspects they’re trying to improve.
- tiagod 4y agoThe presumable pre-prompt, extracted through clever prompts, seems to indicate a browsing setting, which is disabled. There's also WebGPT[0] already with such capabilities, which could've been merged to ChatGPT. [0] https://openai.com/blog/webgpt/ https://openai.com/blog/webgpt/
- debugnik 4y agoKeep in mind that "setting" is part of a prompt for a language model, also asking it to behave like an assistant: They're nudging it so it doesn't pretend that it can actually browse, but such setting might not actually exist.
