#2We found that our product was accidentally very useful and are taking it down while we fix this.

#3Probably an unpopular opinion, but it's sucky to see these tools constantly getting nerfed. I get that there are large questions out there about things like "browse with bing" but that's why I thought it was supposed to be a limited alpha preview. If OpenAI wants us to build workflows on their stack, they need to really crystalize and figure out what that stack is without changing the underlying stack every 5 minutes. From the constant prompt/jailbreak-defeat tweaks to stuff like this, it really doesn't feel like a stable platform at all.

#4The "in order to do right by content owners" quote implies that certain companies did not like that Browse with Bing could be used to bypass paywalls.

Unpopular? Isn’t that the opposite?

The constant quest for "safety" might actually be making our future much less safe. I've seen many instances of users needing to yell at, abuse, or manipulate ChatGPT to get the desired answers. This trains users to be hateful to / frustrated with AI, and if the data is used, it teaches AI that rewards come from such patterns.

#8The "in order to do right by content owners" quote implies that certain companies did not like that Browse with Bing could be used to bypass paywalls.
"For example, if a user specifically asks for a URL's full text, it might inadvertently fulfill this request." is even clearer. Like, in what cases would you not want to fulfill that request?

> commit: don't summarize paywalled content
But that's just me hypothesizing.
Re: OpenAI temporarily disables the Browse with Bing beta feature
#10It's probably fine for me if they just want to nerf the ability to bypass paywalls. But it's very common now for me that I found something lengthy and informative, pull the URL and ask ChatGPT to summarize. If that is also nerfed then people will have to turn to self-hosted interfaces :(
