Browsing Test Report

Test Summary:

In this session, we executed multiple tests to examine the browsing capabilities of ChatGPT. We attempted to:

  1. Issue a general search query.
  2. Open a URL directly (https://status.openai.com/).
  3. Open a second provided URL (https://1.1.1.1/).
  4. Open a news article URL (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology).
  5. Open a scientific paper URL (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1578521/).

Results:

  1. The search function failed to work, with an error message stating "Failed while processing message. Error:". No further details were provided in the error message.
  2. The first URL (https://status.openai.com/) failed to open with a timeout error message.
  3. The second URL (https://1.1.1.1/) opened successfully and content was retrieved【9†source】.
  4. The news article URL (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology) failed to open with a timeout error message.
  5. The scientific paper URL (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1578521/) failed to open with a timeout error message.

Problem Description:

The browsing capabilities of ChatGPT seem to be experiencing intermittent issues, with certain functions and URLs failing to operate as expected. The search function did not return any results, instead producing an error. Opening certain URLs directly resulted in timeout errors, while others worked as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Use the search function with a valid query string.
  2. Use the open_url function with the following URLs:

Expected Outcome:

The search function should return a list of search results related to the query string. The open_url function should retrieve the content of the specified URL without producing any errors.

Actual Outcome:

The search function returned an error message without any search results. The open_url function returned timeout errors for most URLs, but successfully retrieved the content of 1.1.1.1

System Information:

  • Assistant: ChatGPT
  • Training Data: up until September 2021
  • Current Date: May 20, 2023

Additional Information:

The errors were non-specific and did not provide clear reasons for the failures, making it difficult to diagnose the exact issues. However, the timeout errors suggest possible connectivity or server response issues. It would be helpful to have more detailed error messages or codes to further pinpoint the source of these issues

It is strange that the browsing experience of ChatGPT are not consistent with the text seen in the browsing details some time it is mentioned click failed and it seems to be working but most of the time nothing is working I have been trying to get access to Web site using up adresses and it was working but the DNS transpor or translation seems to be inadequate or an other problem may limit the experience I asked ChatGPT to write a detailed problem report so there it is

I have been trying one the computer, the cell phone and I do not see any mention of anything in the status.openai-com because as usual it seems like OpenAI do not want to have nothing remotely in line with it's name... I am ranting because many other for the profit private companies which exists in hyper competitive market segments where security is very important still have high level of Openness and not only for the « Open » part but in terms of communication skills with its community it is staggering to see oh in the dark people must always be... It's frustrating enough for me to politely ranting...

Obviously because I am ranting (raging politely) I have the impression that people will find excuses to explain why it can not be like I am complaining about... I am tired of watching YouTube videos where it seems like everyone in the world has a friend who is working for OpenAI (in the real life it is like @hollow rover said)...
