🔔 Did you know #OpenAI may keep a cached index of webpages?

When a page is fresh or heavy on #JavaScript, #ChatGPT can generate answers from related cached pages.

I built a small app using your OpenAI API to check the external_web_access endpoint

I'm not surprised at all.
If you're based in the EU and have a proper look into your server logs, this is what you get.

The idea per se is smart as LLMs may slice .md faster than .html but if it doesn't become a standard in the W3C then it lives in thin air
Shocking... ;) -> Study: LLMs.txt Shows No Clear Effect On AI Citations, Based On 300k Domains

"Analysis of 300k domains found LLMs.txt adoption is low & has no measurable link to AI citation frequency. SE Ranking’s crawl found llms.txt on 10.1% of domains. i.e. 9 out of 10 sites didn't have it."

this goes right along with my theory that the AI obsession in *users* is often bc…

1. they were never educated (esp "ipad generation") & don't know how computers work

2. our tools and services are all SO AWFUL NOW, degraded at best, actively user-hostile at worst

A test on 7 URLs with missing meta descriptions showed:

- Google and ChatGPT favoured H1S and structured text
- Perplexity relied on cached metas.

LLMs and AI search engines tend to mimic Google, preferring structured, self-contained content during retrieval.

How Google & LLMs Replace Missing Meta Descriptions
Discover how Google and LLMs replace missing meta descriptions—pulling from H1s, bullet points, or cached content, often mimicking each other.
