Ask HN: Anyone notice ChatGPT doing Bing search instead of answering questions?
- andrewstuart 3y agoI'd like to turn this off. I'm not paying OpenAI for a subscription so it does web searches. If I want to do web searches I'll use Google. In the meantime I have switched back to ChatGPT 3.5 which, in so many ways, is faster and more willing to do as it is asked.
- az09mugen 3y agoSeems like chat gpt4 is an overkill way to do web searches.
- mitchellpkt 3y agoIf you want an answer from the model itself instead of search results, you can frame it like: "Without looking anything up, <original request>" For example: (today, GPT-4) > "Who won the physics Nobel prize in 2023?" --> uses Bing & provides citation link [0] > "Without looking anything up, who won the physics Nobel prize in 2023?" --> does not use Bing [1] I don't know this approach will work forever, but at time of writing it has been effective for me.
