Open AI temporarily offline ChatGPT "browse" function

This function is to improve ChatGPT's search experience, so that it can use Microsoft's Bing search engine to obtain the latest information, that is, to achieve ChatGPT networking. Some people believe that the reason why OpenAI decided to temporarily offline this function may be that some users are using this function to bypass the paywall of some websites or platforms and access related content for free.

Stability AI CEO: Human programmers won't exist in 5 years
Emad Mostaque, founder and CEO of artificial intelligence startup Stability AI, takes a more extreme view, predicting that "in five years' time, there will be no (human) programmers."
It is understood that Stability AI is a research start-up company headquartered in London, England, with a valuation of about US$1 billion. The company has developed Stable Diffusion, an AI image generation tool that can create stunningly realistic images.
Mostak acknowledged that the "human programmer's imminent disappearance" statement is controversial, but he still emphasized that there is some evidence that the future of human programmers does not look bright.
According to data from GitHub, the world's largest developer community, 41% of all current codes are generated by artificial intelligence. Mostak also pointed out that it took Stability AI only 3 months to surpass the popularity of Bitcoin and Ethereum in this "programmer base camp" and formed a trend, "This is enough to prove that AI is more popular than cryptocurrency."
