It claims to be able to, then sometime claims it cannot. When it does perform a search, claims it gets a 500 error when trying to access this forum, but the firm pulled up fine on my browser at time of error.

This might be due to a lower value search result timeout setting on the model ?

What might be reducing the user experience of UserExperience is that the AI is not allowed access to URLs that are not search results, or that it is not allowed and instructed on a method to click-through to URLs before a search is done.

URL-following is a mid-state of the “search takeover experience”, so requesting that ChatGPT search or explore directly from a URL or site can easily lead to wild goose-guesses at methods that return errors, or feigning obedience that cannot be delivered.
