I saw the requests appear in my server logs so I know it was able to connect. Others on Twitter have observed it doing things on the non-hallucinated web too (see my previous link).

In fact, it appears you can still convince the underlying model to browse the web, but if you do, the UI displays an error (the model output doesn't explain to you it's refusing, rather, the UI draws a big X and displays an out-of-band error in red text). I'm guessing that's a server error from OpenAI shutting down their puppeteer cluster or whatever ChatGPT was using to browse. That's what I meant by pulling the plug.

OpenAI even openly advertises this ability[1]. It's likely WebGPT's abilities from a year ago were folded into ChatGPT, but they don't want to expose that ability to the public just yet.

It seems mildly dangerous to let it access the internet. Maybe Elon was right.

It seems midly dangerous to consider _it_ mildly dangerous on the internet.
