If you want an answer from the model itself instead of search results, you can frame it like: "Without looking anything up, <original request>"

For example: (today, GPT-4)

> "Who won the physics Nobel prize in 2023?" --> uses Bing & provides citation link [0]

> "Without looking anything up, who won the physics Nobel prize in 2023?" --> does not use Bing [1]

I don't know this approach will work forever, but at time of writing it has been effective for me.
