Hey everyone, I was wondering if ChatGPT can actually open or access links you share with it. Like, can it read the content from a webpage or something? Just curious how it handles that kinda stuff. Anyone got any insights?

From what I know, ChatGPT can't really open links or browse the web directly. It only knows what it was trained on till a certain date.
If you want up-to-date info or stuff from a link, you probably gotta copy-paste the content instead of sending the link itself.
I've tried sending links to ChatGPT before, and it just ignores the actual link content. So I guess it doesn’t access them at all.
Some people say newer versions can kinda follow links or browse online, but I haven't tried it myself so not sure if it's true.
