Title: Page 34 – Alex Kirk --- * June 14, 2023 * I did some experiments to see what happens if you let ChatGPT access the internet: [https://alex.kirk.at/2023/06/13/letting-chatgpt-access-the-internet/](https://alex.kirk.at/2023/06/13/letting-chatgpt-access-the-internet/) * [Web](https://alex.kirk.at/category/web/) * ## 󠀁[Letting ChatGPT Access the Internet](https://alex.kirk.at/2023/06/13/letting-chatgpt-access-the-internet/)󠁿 * June 13, 2023 * With the [new Completions function calling API](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/gpt/function-calling) you can actually enable ChatGPT to access the internet. I did a few quick experiments where I provided it with a function called `get_extracted_url_contents`. See how it made use of it: * ## Get News * Script: [https://github.com/akirk/cli-chatgpt/blob/main/get-news.php](https://github.com/akirk/cli-chatgpt/blob/main/get-news.php) * > $ php get-news.php > Prompt: Get some news from a random US news website on the internet. > Fetching > https://www.cnn.com by request of ChatGPT.AI (239 tokens used):According to > CNN, the breaking news is that the former US president has been arraigned on > 37 federal charges involving the alleged mishandling of highly classified military > documents.
