A feature that was available to OpenAI's ChatGPT subscribers and called Browse with Bing has been temporarily disabled. The feature lets users search the internet to help answer questions, via ChatGPT that benefit from recent information. OpenAI, which is the creator of ChatGPT has said that the feature was disabled after it learned it can “occasionally display content in ways we don’t want”. The company mentioned this in its help centre update.
"We've learned that ChatGPT's "Browse" beta can occasionally display content in ways we don't want, e.g. if a user specifically asks for a URL's full text, it may inadvertently fulfill this request. We are disabling Browse while we fix this—want to do right by content owners," the company announced in a tweet late on Tuesday.

"As of July 3, 2023, we’ve disabled the Browse with Bing beta feature out of an abundance of caution while we fix this in order to do right by content owners," the company noted.
The company further mentioned that it is working to bring the beta feature back as quickly as possible. In May this year, Microsoft had announced the integration of Bing Search into OpenAI's ChatGPT in order to provide more relevant and potentially new responses. It said that Bing would serve as the "default search experience,” and would be available to free users soon by simply enabling a plugin which brings Bing to ChatGPT.
