Can anyone confirm if this is available in Canada and other countries? This site says "We are still working on bringing access to users in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and the European Economic Area." But I'm not sure about other countries. I don't have Pro currently, only Plus.

I don't even see it in the US right now.

This is a hard question for language models since it targets one of their known weaknesses.

Greek mythology? But seriously please elaborate for my less educated self.

LLMs often don't do well on tasks that require composition into smaller subtasks. In this case there is a chain of relations that depend on the previous result.

The creators are aware that a human is using this, can we say the same for AI, does it have their consent?

Then consent is granted by transitive property because these AI are yielded by humans.

Yea but guy paying closedai to get "insights" that basically copy-pasted content from my blog is definitely violating my blogs copyright, and in the end no coin comes to me either. What about that?

Is this "deep research" tool exploiting open knowledge creators, using their work without compensation?

How is using public information "exploitation"? A human researcher with Google would do the same.

So its fine for OpenAI to effectively sell your CC BY-NC content to others?

Not sure if people picked up on it, but this is being powered by the unreleased o3 model. Which might explain why it leaps ahead in benchmarks considerably and aligns with the claims o3 is too expensive to release publicly. Seems to be quite an impressive model and the leading out of Google, DeepSeek and Perplexity.

Has anyone here tried it out yet?

Per the below, seems it's not available to many yet.

Feels like only a matter of time before these crawlers are blocked from large swathes of the internet. I understand that they’re already prohibited from Reddit and YouTube. If that spreads, this approach might be in trouble.

TBF OpenAI in particular bought access to Reddit. Otherwise yeah this is my main confusion with all of these products, Perplexity being the biggest -- how do you get around the status-quo of refusing access to bots? Just to start off with, there is no Google Search API, and they work hard to make sure headless browsers can't access the normal service. They do say "Currently, deep research can access the open web...",…

Client-side browsers that crawl for users (and prompt for logins or captcha as needed) won't be as easily blockable

This is terrifying. Even though they acknowledge the issues with hallucinations/errors, that is going to be completely overlooked by everyone using this, and then injecting the outputs into their own powerpoints. Management Consulting was bad enough before the ability to mass produce these graphs and stats on a whim. At least there was some understanding behind the scenes of where the numbers came from, and sources w…

Either you care about being correct or you don't. If you don't care then it doesn't matter whether you made it up or the AI did. If you care then you'll fact check before publishing. I don't see why this changes.

How hard it is to produce credible-looking bullshit makes a really big difference in these scenarios.

Consultants aren't the ones doing the fact-checking, that falls to the client, who ironically tend to assume the consultants did it.
