Can you provide some examples of things that aren’t on the web but that ChatGPT helped you with? I’ve yet to see an example that’s not in the likely training set (which includes more than just the public Internet).

But to your point, I disagree: the mechanism matters. Just because you haven’t detected the limitations of the mechanism behind ChatGPT doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Perhaps I'm confused, but your question seems contradictory and ambiguous. You first imply (I think?) that ChatGPT is limited to web-sourced information, but then acknowledge the training set includes more than just the public web. Can you please clarify what you are asking?

My guess is he's referring to things that are out there on the web, but not in the top results and not easy to find.
