I don't know about you, but one of the reasons I used to fight with ChatGPT until recently was the AI's inability to visit certain web pages. I'm not even talking about paywalled content that the AI can't see. It's regular web pages you might give the AI when looking to discuss a certain topic.
Sometimes, ChatGPT would try to fetch the content, but then it would just browse the web for information related to what it thought (or saw) at the link I provided. I'd catch it, and then it would ultimately confess why it searched for other sources: ChatGPT couldn't open the link I pasted in the prompt.
Some websites block chatbots like ChatGPT from reading their pages, and that's understandable in a world where it's very likely that AI firms trained on internet content without always asking for permission first.
But it's a problem if you need to chat with the AI about a specific page. You might want ChatGPT to explain concepts, summarize studies, translate original text, or answer questions related to a particular type of written content online. You don't want ChatGPT to go looking for other sources.
Thankfully, there are very easy ways to let ChatGPT see the content you want to access, including the one I like the most.
