@build_in_public: This is direct evidence that ChatGPT is using Bing to do web searches and not Google. Ask, “Is Commit Club on BetaList?” ChatGPT “Yes, Commit Club is listed on BetaList,” sharing the BetaList link to Commit Club. We can see the web searches that ChatGPT does. If you try this in Google, the Commit Club BetaList page does not come up. If you try it in Bing, it's there at the top. But ChatGPT actually did two searches. Trying the second in Google, the Commit Club BetaList page still isn't there. Trying it in Bing, again, it is at the top. It's possible that OpenAI is using another search engine like Brave Search. Given the amount of speculation that OpenAI uses Bing, it's most likely Bing. This is how you check the searches ChatGPT does, by the way: Copy the part of the URL that comes after /c/ Right-click, Inspect. Go to Network, paste in what you just copied, refresh the page, click on the orange brackets for what you just copied, go to Response, search this for the word “queries.” Then you see queries here. These are the searches ChatGPT is doing. This also means that if you want to be shown in ChatGPT, you can see the searches it does and target that language. Then go to Bing Webmaster Tools. Bing Webmaster Tools will show you how your site appears in Bing, also telling you how you performed in AI. The citation sources in Bing Webmaster Tools will say "Microsoft Copilots and partners," but now we know the partners mean - at least some of them are - ChatGPT. #generativeengineoptimization #answerengineoptimization #searchengineoptimization #seo
