When ChatGPT sees the image (in this case, a mathematics formula), it stops, however the user may not comprehend why.

The filter likewise suggests that it’s most likely that ChatGPT will not have the ability to respond to concerns about this short article when searching the web, such as through ChatGPT with Search. Somebody might utilize that to possibly avoid ChatGPT from searching and processing a site on function if they included a prohibited name to the website’s text.
