The study asserts that users were able to bypass paywalls by using ChatGPT Plus Browse with Bing. The users had the option of getting some strange replies in return for their requests, such as the complete URL text.

"We discovered that the ChatGPT Browse beta occasionally displays content in unexpected ways. An official statement from the company states, "For instance, if a user specifically requests the full text of a URL, it may supply this request incorrectly."

The company went on to say, "We have disabled the Browse with Bing beta feature as of July 3, 2023, out of abundance of caution as we work to fix issues in order to do right by content owners."

The company stated that it would restore the beta feature as soon as possible. Microsoft unveiled the integration of Bing Search into OpenAI's ChatGPT in May with the intention of providing responses that are more pertinent and potentially novel.

It expressed that Bing would before long be the default web crawler and that free clients would have the option to use it by essentially empowering a module that incorporates Bing with ChatGPT.

In the meantime, the business likewise recommends that perusing with Bing will assist clients with getting replies to inquiries regarding recent developments and other data that ChatGPT is unequipped for giving. In addition, because ChatGPT only knows about 2021, surfing enables the AI chatbot to obtain information that is more accurate and current in real time.
