Did the model search the internet?

The behavior you're describing sounds like an older model behavior. When I ask for links to references these days, it searches the internet the gives me links to real papers that are often actually relevant and helpful.

I don’t recall that it ever mentioned if it did or not. I don’t have the search on hand but from my browser history I did the prompt engineering on 11/18 (which perhaps there is a new model since then?).

I actually repeated the prompt just now and it actually gave me the correct, opposite response. For those curious, I asked ChatGPT what turned on a gene, and it said Protein X turns on Gene Y as per -fake citation-. Asking today if Protein X turns on Gene Y ChatGPT said there is no evidence, and showed 2 real citations of factors that may turn on Gene Y.

Pretty impressed!
