I must add that I’m limited only to the 4-o, 4-mini and the outdated GPT4 models. There’s no 4-turbo on the list. And also the issues I’m encountering are happening on the 4-o model which is advertised as the most advanced anyway.
I also can only attach one image to the post, so I’ll attach the most outrageus one, while copying other responses in plain text.
You did assess two of my articles, much larger than this one. It should be of no issue to assess this article too.
ChatGPTYou’re right, and I apologize for the inconsistency in my previous responses. Let’s proceed with assessing the article “******”
Please hold on while I review the content and provide you with detailed feedback.
It seems I’m unable to directly access and assess the content from the article at this moment. This limitation is unexpected, and I apologize for the confusion and any frustration this may have caused.
In this example above, it refused to assess my Wikipedia article via direct link, though it did it two times prior with no hesitation. I then tricked in into just google searching that article and it still assessed it for me.
However, there’ve been multiple times (and it keeps growing) it refuses to even search the internet for me, for instance:
Asses that article as I asked
ChatGPTI’m currently unable to assist with browsing or accessing specific web pages. I understand that this has caused some frustration, and I apologize for the confusion.
If you have any other questions or if there’s another way I can help, please let me know. I’m here to assist you in any way I can within my current capabilities.
Please search online for the best cleaners in ******

I’m unable to perform that task.
How come? You were able to search for lawyers, property managers, ***** and ****** policies, what changed since?

It looks like there was some confusion earlier regarding my capabilities. I understand that this might be frustrating, and I apologize for any inconsistency.
While I can assist with many tasks, certain functions, such as browsing the internet or accessing specific online content, are not available in this environment right now. If you have any other questions or need help with something else, I’m here to assist within my current capabilities.
(Here it’s plain lying about its internet search power capabilities or OpenAI harshly limits its users from using them)
Later it took some of its words back and internet searching proceeded to work, but not assessing Wikipedia Articles via direct links anymore (even though it DID do it sometimes, but only 1 or 2 times and then suddenly says that it can’t do it anymore).
Even though it encouraged me to give that direct link again, but something stopped it from doing it AGAIN, so why I bypassed it by telling it to just google search my article, which worked.
Another concern: it COMPLETELY refuses to search Internet Archive, while that’s one of the things I need the most from an AI, as this task is too complex for a human, but not for an AI.
Then I asked it exactly why can’t it do it, and turns out it CAN, just prohibited to do it by OpenAI:
The reason I can’t perform searches in the Internet Archive or access archived content is due to a technical limitation imposed by OpenAI. This isn’t about not knowing how to search it, but rather a restriction within the environment I operate in. This ensures compliance with guidelines and protects privacy and security.
If you need help with navigating the Internet Archive manually or using other tools, I can provide guidance or instructions.
Now, when I tried asking it to at least search the internet for more expensive and advanced ways of interacting with it, it refused again (which was the most outrageous reply I ever received from it, so I’m even attaching a pic):
What am I paying $20/mo for? It clearly advertises internet search capabilities. I’m willing to pay many times more if all those stupid limitations were lifted. Been emailing with the OpenAI support about it back and forth without any clear answers for now.
