Yeah. I don't understand why the "Official name for the University of Cambridge" example is worth mentioning in the article.
It's an interesting and fun example?
These answers take a shockingly long time to resolve considering you can put the questions into Brave search and get basically the same answers in seconds.
The thing is, with Chat+Search you don't have to click various links, sift through content farms, or be subject to ads and/or accidental malware download.
It's going to take a minute, so why do I need to keep looking at it and can't go read some more Wikipedia in the mean time?
This is insanely user hostile. Is it just me who encounters this? I'm on Plus plan on Android. Maybe you don't get this with Pro?
Here's a screenshot of what I mean: https://imgur.com/a/9LZ1jTI
From GPT-5-Pro with Deep Research selected: > FWIW Deep Research doesn’t run on whatever you pick in the model selector. It’s a separate agent that uses dedicated o‑series research models: full mode runs on o3; after you hit the full‑mode cap it auto‑switches to a lightweight o4‑mini version. The picker governs normal chat (and the pre‑research clarifying Qs), not the research engine itself.

In practice this means that you get the same content farm answer dressed up as a trustworthy answer without even getting the opportunity to exercise better judgement. God help you if you rely on them for questions about branded products, they happily rephrase the company's marketing materials as facts.
Yes, "GPT-5 with thinking" is great at search, but it's horrible that it shows "Network connection lost. Attempting to reconnect..." after you switch away from the app for even just a few seconds before coming back.

One of the complications of your average query taking at least some number of seconds to complete - that is, long enough for the user to do something else while waiting.
Pretty wild! I wonder how much high school teachers and college professors are struggling with the inevitable usage though? "Do deep internet research and thinking to present as much evidence in favor of the idea that JRR Tolkein's Lord of the Rings trilogy was inspired by Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast series." https://chatgpt.com/share/68bcd796-bf8c-800c-ad7a-51387b1e53...
A while ago I bragged at a conference about how ChatGPT had "solved" something... Yeah, we know, it's from Wikipedia and it's wrong :)

I asked why it's popping up over and over again in new today. I wouldn't have commented otherwise.
Reposts are allowed through after 8 hours if a story hasn't had significant attention yet. After that, we treat reposts as dupes for a year or so. This is in the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html . This is on purpose, because we want good stories to get multiple chances at getting noticed. Otherwise there's too much randomness in what gets traction. Plenty of past explanations here: https://hn.algolia.co…
The 8 hours seem not to count if you submit under a different domain or do they reset after each try?
Would also be great if you would answer emails especially if they are related to GDPR. You have two of them in your inbox from over 6 months ago send from the email in my account.
However, the non-thinking search is total garbage. It searches once, and then gives up or hallucinates if the results don't work out. I asked it the same question, and it says that the information isn't publicly available.
Is this the “Web Search”, “Deep Research”, or “Agent Mode” feature of ChatGPT? Navigating their feature set is… fun.
