What a convoluted nonsense.
Is there any reason to suspect that the Bing version of the ChatGPT bot sends HTTP requests? A much easier and natural implementation would be to make it connect directly to the Bing search engine's indexes and caches.
- simonw 4y agoIf you paste in a URL and ask it to respond to the content at that UTL it appears to be able to do so - see the example at the very bottom of my post here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/ https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/ I've not yet been able to ascertain if this only works for pages that have been crawled by the Bing search crawler or if it can make requests on demand to retrieve content it hasn't seen before. If anyone has access to the new Bing and the ability to tail server logs for a public site somewhere I'd love to know what they find!
- ParetoOptimal 4y agoYou could make a new website and immediately ask Bing about it to test this. Maybe add some noindex headers to ensure it's not added to the index?
- justinclift 4y agoIf you run the web server, then the url (on your server) doesn't even need to exist, as you'll be able to see the incoming request (and failure) regardless.
