Paywall access flaw disables ChatGPT’s Bing browsing feature
ChatGPT has currently disabled its Bing-based search engine feature after a loophole regarding bypassing paywalled content was figured out.
In a tweet on July 4, OpenAI informed the users that they are temporarily closing the feature to make the relevant changes.
We've learned that ChatGPT's "Browse" beta can occasionally display content in ways we don't want, e.g. if a user specifically asks for a URL's full text, it may inadvertently fulfill this request. We are disabling Browse while we fix this—want to do right by content owners.
— OpenAI (@OpenAI) July 4, 2023
The feature was available in Beta and to subscribers of the ChatGPT Plus service. The loophole is of great concern as websites use paywall features to encourage readers to sign up for a paid subscription.
Once the loophole is fixed, the feature will be available again.
