The ChatGPT website went down for a few minutes and then I saw this update.

"As of July 3, 2023, we’ve disabled the Browse with Bing beta feature out of an abundance of caution while we fix this in order to do right by content owners. We are working to bring the beta back as quickly as possible, and appreciate your understanding!"

Just noticed this. Honestly a bit worried that it's going to be nerfed to an unreasonable degree once it comes back.

I’m here cause I used the Bing feature like 2 hours ago to search the Panthers upcoming NFL schedule. Come back to test some other ideas and it’s gone. Didn’t even GPT published an iOS app until earlier today. Bad timing for me

Isn't returning "a URL's full text" exactly what all web browsers do when you enter a URL and go to that website?

Even if a site has paywalls and stuff, it often still serves its full text to your web browser. Was ChatGPT just bypassing paywalls or was it serving text that wouldn't normally be distributed to all users on a web browser?
