ChatGPT maker disables feature that enabled AI chatbot users to surf the internet via Bing

Earlier this month, OpenAI added a new feature to their AI chatbot app called ChatGPT. This feature allowed users to search the internet using Bing and get answers to their questions. However, OpenAI recently announced that they are temporarily disabling this feature because there is a problem that needs to be fixed.

The feature, known as "ChatGPT Browse with Bing," was only available to subscribers of ChatGPT Plus, which is a special version of the chatbot that you have to pay for. This feature was helpful because it allowed ChatGPT to find the most up-to-date information on the internet, even if it wasn't part of its original training. For example, it could find information about current events happening in the world. It did this by using Bing's search engine to look for the information.

"ChatGPT Browse with Bing is a beta feature (available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers) that allows ChatGPT to search the internet to help answer questions that benefit from recent information," the company said in an update.
