On 27 September, OpenAI announced that an internet-browsing version of its popular chatbot ChatGPT would be available for paying subscribers. Before then, users were unable to access up-to-date information through the chatbot, which had been limited to data available online up to September 2021. The new feature allows paying subscribers to use a ChatGPT version which browses the internet with Bing, Microsoft’s search engine. This version was tested in May but was swiftly taken offline after it was revealed that it could be used to access paywalled content without permission. The current version has been updated so that websites have the option to block OpenAI’s web crawler tool, which scrapes pages for information. This has led to several news publishers blocking ChatGPT from accessing their sites. However, many still allow ChatGPT to access and use their content.
