The new SearchGPT search engine from OpenAI encountered an unexpected obstacle: a number of the world's leading publications were blocked access to its content for this service, which can seriously affect its competitiveness.
SearchGPT blocking
Unexpected turn of events
SearchGPT, developed by the creators of ChatGPT, was initially introduced as an innovative alternative to Google using artificial intelligence. However, recently something unexpected happened: some leading foreign publications suddenly limited access to this new search engine to their resources.
Blocking scale
According to information Business Insider, citing Based on data from Originality.ai, a number of prestigious publications, including The New York Times, Wired, The New Yorker and Vogue (a total of 14 major media outlets), have blocked OpenAI's SearchGPT from accessing their materials. The reasons for this decision have not yet been disclosed. However, this significantly complicates the new search engine's ambitions to compete with Google, as the results of users' search queries will be incomplete.
Possible reasons for blocking
John Gillam, CEO of Originality.ai, speculates that publishers may not trust OpenAI. He believes new AI-powered search engines can retain audiences by providing concise summaries of content instead of redirecting to original articles. This could potentially lead to a decrease in traffic and, consequently, revenue for publishers.
Legal aspects
It is worth noting that this year OpenAI has entered into several agreements with publishers for the use of their archived materials for training AI. At the same time, The New York Times initiated a lawsuit against the company, accusing it of copyright infringement. According to the publication, the OpenAI chatbot copied millions of their articles without permission.

Wow, what news! 😮SearchGPT blocked by major publications? I wonder how this will affect the development of AI search engines. It seems the battle for information is just beginning!
Hans
Yes, Anastasia, this is a serious blow to OpenAI. But to be honest, I understand them. Publishers are afraid of losing traffic and revenue. I wonder if they will find a compromise? 🤔
Sophie
I think this is a temporary measure. OpenAI will probably find a way to reach an agreement with publishers. Maybe they'll offer them a percentage of their income or some other form of compensation? 💡
Pedro
Sophie, you're right. But don't forget that The New York Times has already sued OpenAI. This can complicate negotiations. I wonder how other tech giants will react to this situation? 🧐
Viktor
Pfft, another AI hype. Why do we need these new search engines at all? Google works great and no problems. All these innovations only make life more difficult. 😒
Isabelle
Victor, I don't agree. Innovation drives progress! Although the situation is difficult, it is an excellent opportunity for all parties to reconsider their strategies and find a mutually beneficial solution. Perhaps this will lead to the creation of a new content monetization model? 🚀
Olena
Isabelle, great idea! 👍 What if we create a platform where publishers can monetize their content through AI search engines? This could solve the problem and open up new opportunities for both parties.
Hans
Olena, your idea sounds promising! This could be a revolution in the distribution of information. I wonder what OpenAI thinks about this? Maybe they already have a plan B? 🤓
