There is no way to know that, and even if it ends up being true, blocking openai will likely make the problem worse, e.g. the ai answers will be worse without access to the documentation.

But if people come to me with problems, I can give them a link to that post and say, "GPTx does not know my stuff. You will want to read the docs yourself."

Most people who have any logic sense will likely try chatGPTs answer if it's wrong they'll go to the docs and try to see why it's wrong or they'll tell chatGPT it's wrong give a link to the docs to clarify and ask why, if using something like phind.com. Plus just because openai doesn't index it doesn't mean you can't use langchain to scrape the site and ingest the data. I'm pretty sure this is how phind works when I reference a specific page.

For example it gave me really wrong info when I requested info on the latest version of nextjs, I asked it if it could double check on their website at url, and it said sorry here's the correct info and all was good. I've never gotten wrong answers I couldn't have it fix assuming it has Internet access.

You could suggest that anyway without intentionally making it even worse at it (though honestly I don’t think this will have any effect anyway)

[gavinhoward]

I could, but with so many people trusting GPTx too much, I suspect that they would not come to me with questions, but bug reports and insist that my software has the bug even if it does not.

By saying that GPTx just doesn't know my stuff, it would be easier to tell them to go away.

[circuit10]

I don’t see why you can’t just tell them that GPTx makes things up sometimes, and still tell them to go away (not literally because that would be rude)

[gavinhoward]

Because even when you tell people that, they don't believe you.

[circuit10]

Then why would they believe that it doesn’t know anything about your software?
