Users are concerned about the sudden disappearance of the ‘Browse with Bing’ feature in ChatGPT Plus. Some users thought it could be a regional issue, while others found it disappearing after a page refresh. OpenAI responded that the feature has been temporarily disabled to fix some issues (ref). A user explained that this feature helped GPT search the internet for recent information to answer questions, but it could potentially display content in unwanted ways. Some users expressed discontent about the feature’s removal, considering it a significant part of the value in their paid subscription, especially for tasks like translating foreign content or navigating new tech platforms. Another user commented on alternatives like webpilot and voxscript for browsing web pages and advised users aren’t forced to subscribe to Plus since GPT-3.5 is free. OpenAI reassured users that the feature was temporarily removed due to a bug, but it will be back soon. Some newly registered users expressed disappointment as they signed up specifically for the browsing feature. As of July 3, 2023, the feature has been disabled in order to do right by content owners, but OpenAI is working to bring back the feature as soon as possible (ref). Some users demanded compensation for the removal of the feature they paid for. Other users asked for patience, explaining that new features need time for development.

In the meantime I recommend the Web Requests plugin. (I also make the plugin full disclosure). But I also can guarantee it will exceed your expectations and know the limitations you feel without it.
Prompt: Do some thorough research into the top Al / ML tooling / developer-focused companies that have raised the largest rounds of funding in the past 6-12 months. And include the investment firms that are making the biggest investments, and a summary of their portfolio companies. Organize this information in a table, and summarize or contextualize in prose or other sections of the report underneath. Take as much time s you need and as many requests as you need and always remember I am here to answer any questions you might have.
we are all paying for a product that does not do what is advertised. it barely works as it is, and if it does it doesn’t complete the most basic of tasks, it doesnt complete responses more frequently than it does. if it were free that would be one thing but to take away contractual features without giving a refund or some kind of compensation can’t be impervious to a class action. I have to read the legal docs again more carefully but this is insane.
They truly stole from me, in such a huge way. With my ADHD, i lack the executive function, follow through, the strategic methodology of refinement that is the interactive chat format that makes perfect sense to my brain, thoughts fleshed out and sitting there for me to go back to if i get up and get distracted (they were always there, waiting for me! the thoughts didnt just disappear into the ether!) all these things that chatGPT provided-- i wouldve paid multiple times what they are charging for the value i got out of it. it was life changing for me, in a real, tangible, day-to-day effective way, and obviously i would love to not have been so elevated by an external product but whatever works, and this thing WORKED. It feels like they took us out of platos cave, took us on an epic grand adventure, circled the harbor for a day or two making us think this was our new lives, then turned back into the harbor, handed us our own torches to make our own shadows and put us back behind bars in the cave.
im just so beyond disappointed
i didnt even open this website to make this post! i wasnt even thinking about this issue, thats already like done for, i came to post about help reading console log errors (it wont even open up in the first place now. i want my money and my hope back) and saw this thread and had to add my 2^x cents.
I’d be happy to go through your use case with you to help you find the issues you face, if you have code snippets and examples of prompts and results you think are not up to standard, I can go through them and assist you to correct them, so far I have not come across a users issue with the model that was not some combination of using more tokens than the model can process, incorrect prompt usage or a misunderstanding of the capabilities of the model.
This looks really interesting and I’m giving some serious thought to installing it.
Could you possibly say something about your privacy policies and what data the plugin sees and/or collects?
I looked on the plugin’s homepage (https://plugin.wegpt.ai/legal) and found:
Web Requests neither tracks nor stores your searches, queries, or content beyond caching in-memory for performance and efficiency purposes. We do not maintain a lengthy database of activity or content. Cache retention is limited to 24 to 48 hours.
That sounds very promising, but it’d give me the push I need if you could expand on that slightly.
Users of ChatGPT Plus on a forum are expressing concern about the disappearance of the ‘Browse with Bing’ feature, wondering if it’s regionally dependent or due to a bug (post 1, post 3). OpenAI explained the feature has been temporarily disabled for error correction (post 6).
A user shared how this feature allowed GPT to answer questions by browsing the internet, but it could unintentionally display content in unanticipated ways (post 7). Many users are frustrated with the removal, arguing that the browsing feature constitutes a substantial part of their paid subscription’s value. This feature was particularly helpful for tasks such as translating unfamiliar languages or navigating new tech platforms (post 7, post 9, post 10). However, another user mentioned alternative options like webpilot and voxscript that provide web page browsing and emphasized that there’s no obligation to subscribe to Plus since GPT-3.5 is free (post 11).
Users were assured that the Bing browsing feature was only temporarily removed due to a bug, and efforts are being made to resolve the issue and bring it back (post 28).

In response to the unavailability of the feature, some users demanded compensation (post 32). Still, other users called for patience, asserting that new features need time to develop (post 41).
